This was a special week at Orange Presbyterian Weekday School (OPWS). We had a wonderful visit from the Orange Volunteer Fire Company this week! The children always learn so much and have a wonderful time. We conclude our study of community helpers this week and move on to PUMPKINS! We will begin this unit by visiting Sarah's Pumpkin Patch for our annual field trip on Friday. - Caroline Baldwin, OPWS director

About the concert
We present a concert showcasing the organ playing a variety of musical styles. Accomplished musicians from across the area to demonstrate how the instrument blends and enhances soloists, ensembles, and choruses. This concert marks an important milestone -- the halfway point of our organ restoration and upgrade. Orange Presbyterian Church (OPC) has long been a vital part of the Orange music community. In 2021 Orange Presbyterian Church (OPC) elected to give the sanctuary organ a major overhaul and renovation. Time had taken its toll on the instrument. Parts of the instrument were unplayable, and beyond repair. The original organ was installed in our old sanctuary (now the Fellowship Hall) in 1915. When the new sanctuary was built in 1973, the organ was dismantled and moved into the choir loft. It was expanded with pieces from other organs to create an impressive instrument of over 1,100 pipes. Phase One of the project replaced the old console with a Viscount 363DK Classic Organ. This electronic organ, with its system of 26 professional-grade speakers and 99 presets is the instrument you'll be hearing this evening.
