The Enterprise — Michael Koff
A weathered beam — the church was built in 1872 — supports parts of the old carillon, a system that stopped working when the steeple was struck by lightning in July. The new system is digital — the 1984 carillon used tapes, and the one before that, installed in 1952, used miniature hammers that struck tiny brass rods, the sound amplified by speakers  — and plays music from Flemish bells, English bells, and traditional cast bells, as well as harp.
