2018-04-06 - Updated by Chad Boorsma. The organ was as large as possible given the size of the chamber in the northwest corner of the Sanctuary. In fact, a few of the larger pipes were installed beneath the platform (information from the church's 100th anniversary book). -Database Manager
2018-08-17 - The organ was removed from the church's old sanctuary, enlarged by Casavant, and reinstalled in 1960 in the new sanctuary on the same property.
