For more than 25 years, Lynn Hildebrand has worked as a humane education teacher for the Humane Society of San Bernardino in California. Lynn Hildebrand has attended the First Congregational Church (FCC) of Corona for more than 50 years. During that time, she has taught Sunday school, helped lead the children’s choir, and sat on the Christian Education and Mission Boards. The city’s first church, FCC of Corona was established in 1887. One of the highlights of the church is its music program, which includes singing from the choir and notes performed by the organist. The organ, which is the first pipe organ in the city, features a variety of pipe sizes, with some as small as a pencil while others standing several feet in length. In 2007, the church’s organ and roof became damaged due to heavy rain storms. These storms caused so much damage that the organ was unusable for church services. The church voted in January 2010 to fully restore the organ and garnered donations from members to assist with the approximately $44,000 restoration cost, along with an additional $7,000 to address the roof. On June 12, 2011, longtime church organist and musical director Dr. Jeanette Wong performed compositions in the organ’s inaugural restorative performance.
