2013-03-06 - Updated through online information from Randy Terry. -- The church's website states that the organ and gallery area were badly damaged in the 5.8 earthquake that shook the DC area in August, 2011, and the instrument was silenced at that time. The building and instrument have since been restored, but they are still raising funds to pay for the organ's restoration as of March, 2013. -Database Manager
