2023-03-30 - The Facebook site for the church (2023) is devoid of photos of the church except for an image of the chancel area from 2012, showing no evidence of an organ and an empty alcove behind the pulpit and altar. Unless an organ has been installed in a tower chamber, it would appear the Steere has been removed. -Scot Huntington
