Notes

2010-11-29 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2021-04-28 - Due to a much smaller congregation, St. Mark's sold their buildings to Right Now Ministries in 2018 and moved to the chapel of South Congregational Church, where they share the building with South Church and three other congregations; the organ was offered for sale via The Organ Clearing House. -Jeff Scofield
