2023-09-25 - From a timeline on the 'History' page of the church website: *"1970 - organ was no longer used due to water damage over a prolonged period. 1976 - congregation decides to restore organ. 1983 - $65,000 is raised and organ is restored, but there is a fire."*
The organ was replaced in 1984 by a Peragallo organ, placed within the Clark case. -Jim Stettner
