       The organ was donated by Mrs. Sarah Cannon, a local philanthropist who was
       also known as Grand Ole Opry's Minnie Pearl.  The room became the church's
       chapel when a large new sanctuary was completed ca.1991.  The organ sounds
       especially fine and the room has outstanding acoustics.
