The Overbeck Chimes were heard for the first time on Easter in 1949. Miss Anna Overbeck donated them in memory of her parents. The chimes are now part of the organ in the Church-in-the-round. A new parsonage was also built as a memorial to Miss Overbeck.

This new parsonage allowed the expanding congregation to use the original parsonage for church school classes and preschool programs. Miss Anne Overbeck was a teacher at Carson School and a lifelong member of St. John's Church.
