Notes

2005-06-20 - Some minor revoicing done c. 2000. -Database Manager

2005-06-20 - From Jeff Scofield: "A most impressive-looking sanctuary - quite dramatic. Even though nobody could tell me who the architect was, it has all the earmarks of a Harold Wagoner design - off-center aisle, choir tossed into one corner. The sanctuary's streetside facade is rather interesting-looking in relation to the interior. The organ sounds quite nice, though it's too small for the large space. The church has over 4,000 members." -Database Manager

2007-05-27 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Some minor voicing changes were made by an independent contractor during the 1990s. -Database Manager
