The organ is being installed in the chambers and Wicks is making progress! In the pictures above, you saw some of the pipes being installed, a shot through the organ chambers into the new worship center, a picture of the blower room, a toe board (where the pipes sit on the chest), and some others.
We're getting closer to move in day!!! Won't it be great when we can hear this instrument?!
