Due to changing demographics, the members of the West Chazy church sought to join our congregation and in 1971 the two congregations merged. The bell from the West Chazy church was retained and brought to Beekman Street. It now sits in back of the church on the lawn between the Sanctuary and the Social Hall.

Music has always been an important part of this church. Mrs. Kate Thompson Merrihew had been a leader in the church’s music program for approximately fifty years. She retired after conducting the music at the dedication service for this building in September 1958.

In 1982 a grand piano was purchased for use in the Sanctuary. An Allen electrical organ served the church well in its early years, but required ever more frequent repairs by the 1990s. It was replaced with a beautiful new organ made by the Russell Organ Company of Cambridgeport, Vermont in 1995.
