Reconstruction of the Organ Gallery in Petrikirche

St. Petersburg
On Sunday, January 29, everyone who came into Petrikirche was taken by surprise – the worship service was held not in the sanctuary, but in the chapel...with the building's entry way acting as overflow space for this worship service with Holy Communion. “We feel especially close to one another today in this tight space, taking Communion together in this small circle from the hands of our pastor, Michael Schwarzkopf, and our intern Judith Schaefer,” said congregations after the service.
The sanctuary was closed for two and half months. The reason for this? The exciting development of preparing a place for the new, large organ that was soon to arrive. The construction work was centered particularly on preparing the organ gallery while the rest of the sanctuary's decorations and instruments were carefully covered in order not to suffer from the construction dust.



You can read more about the organ in news articles from later in the year.
