2022-05-28 - This was a combination of a Pilcher from an unnamed Masonic Temple in Chicago, along with the church's own unnamed second-hand tracker organ - along with Skinner Op. 344 from the Cameo Theatre in New York City; the job was done by both Frank Wichlac and Paul Sauter; the Skinner console was retained and renovated for the project. -Jeff Scofield
