2010-02-18 - Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The Aeolian-Skinner organ was placed behind the facade of the church's previous organ, a 1902 Hinners. The Hinners facade was redecorated at this time. The organ was dedicated on April 14, 1948, with Mr. Frederick Marriott, organist at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel (University of Chicago), at the console. The Harp was a gift from the E. Wondaal family, and the Chimes were given by the Anthony J. Toren family. Total cost of the organ and necessary remodeling was $27,810.10. -Database Manager

2010-03-04 - Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- When the church relocated to South Holland, the Hinners facade remained in the Roseland building. -Database Manager
