Notes

2009-02-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Console renovated by Randall Dyer 2005 -Database Manager

2011-06-12 - Updated through online information from Landry Duvall. -Database Manager

2023-04-21 - The hospitality of the music staff on my April 17, 2023, visit goes unmatched. They called somebody in to raise the giant center screen out of the way, turned on the television lights and even cleaned the plexiglass music rack! Due to the layout of the lots for the three churches on Church Circle (narrow lot in the front, much wider in the rear), the buildings have a most confusing rabbit warren of hallways. Hardly any hallway goes more than 20 or 30 feet without meandering off in one direction or another. -Jeff Scofield
