Notes

2009-07-08 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma -- The chapel was the church's sanctuary until a new worship center was completed in 2005. A Rodgers organ, containing both pipes and digital sounds, is used in the new worship space. -Database Manager

2012-01-04 - The organ was sold in 2011. Berghaus Organ Company removed the organ, rebuilt the console, revoiced the pipes, added a Mixture to the Swell, and installed it in Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was used for the first time in that church in December 2011. -Database Manager
