Notes

2007-02-05 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- A three-rank, five-stop Antiphonal is located to one side of the balcony. -Database Manager

2014-12-20 - The Antiphonal was installed primarily because a large youth choir sang from the balcony at each Sunday service, in addition to the adult choir up front; during the processional hymn, the youth choir processed from the front side doors down the side aisles to the back as the adult choir processed up the center aisle to the front; I was in the youth choir when the organ was installed. -Database Manager
