Notes

2011-07-19 - The church closed in 2005, and its members joined with the Christian Science congregation in East Lansing, Michigan. The organ was moved to that facility by Lauck Pipe Organ Company. The instrument underwent a number of alterations to allow it to fit in much smaller chambers in the East Lansing facility. -Database Manager
