FUUF to discuss answer to
important question Sunday
Community invited to experience new
pipe organ at New Life Lutheran Church
Sunday, June 2, from 10
to 11 a.m. at the Florence
Unitarian
Universalist
Fellowship, Rev. Marcia
Pearce will deliver a mes-
sage titled: “Is God Com-
ing Out to Play Yet?”
This was a question
Rev. Pearce said she often
asked as a child, but never
seemed to get the answer
she wanted.
“Now I realize I wasn’t
getting the right answer
because I was asking the
wrong question,” said Rev.
Pearce. “I think this won-
derful world has given us a
great place to play and in-
vestigate, unless we happen
Anyone who enjoys or-
gan music — and espe-
cially pipe organ music —
New Life Lutheran Church
is the place to experience
it.
The church has the only
pipe organ in Florence
and one of very few on the
Oregon Coast. In fact, the
church was built especially
to accommodate the or-
gan.
Each week, the sanctu-
ary is filled with the soar-
ing tones of this beautiful
instrument played by the
talented local organist Bri-
an Lindsey.
The Greek engineer
Cteribius is credited with
inventing the organ in
the third century B.C. He
devised an instrument
called the hydraulis, which
delivered a wind supply
maintained through water
pressure to a set of pipes.
The organ was initially
used mainly for ceremonial
functions, circuses or per-
formances and extensively
in the Roman culture.
A component of a pipe
organ is a stop that admits
pressured air to a set of
to be too busy. Like Saul,
for an example, whom God
gave an eye-opening two-
by-four.”
On Sunday, Rev. Pearce
will respond to her own
question.
FUUF is located at
87738 Highway 101 at
Heceta Beach Road and is
wheelchair accessible.
Each service concludes
with refreshments and a
dialogue circle to explore
the questions that come up
during each worship ser-
vice.

pipes. The phrase “pull out
all the stops” has entered
general usage for deploying
all available means to pur-
sue a goal.
Mozart called the organ
the “King of all Instru-
ments” because of its wide
expressive range.
Subtle differences in the
shape of pipes enable it to
imitate many other instru-
ments, especially wind in-
struments to create a vari-
ety of sounds.
The community is wel-
come to come and hear
this beautiful instrument
played professionally by an
expert organist each week.
New Life Lutheran is lo-
cated at 2100 Spruce St.
