Megan Duncan playing "Prince Charles's Welcome to Lochaber" on the bagpipes at the 2005 Spaghetti Dinner & Entertainment Night Carillon Bagpipe Voice

The church's Schulmerich Generation 4 Novabell Carillon now has a bagpipe voice. A new company innovation this is one of the first institutions in the country to have this upgrade as reported in the Norwin Star.

An early December 2006 Christmas gift was made possible by some church members including Dan Brentzel who provided the monies to include the bagpipe voice in the repertoire of the digital carillon system in memory of his wife Debbie Brentzel and her mother, DeDe Anderson. The initial system was made possible by a number of congregant families paying tribute to their deceased family members last year at Thanksgiving.
