St. George’s Parsons pipe organ needs your help!
We have nine stops, (732 pipes) left to install for our wonderful instrument to be complete as designed, at a total cost of $271, 844.00. Our organ has received rave reviews from International Concert Organists, critics and concert goers. Many newcomers to St. George’s have listed the organ and music program as a primary reason for choosing to worship here. With your help, we can continue to expand our musical outreach and evangelism.
