You are invited to bring your lunch and eat in Fellowship Hall, followed by the recital of approximately 30 minutes in our historic sanctuary. The May recitals will be played on the 1991 Jaeckel mechanical action pipe organ. Artists include Hae Won Jang on May 10, Tim Bohan on May 17, J. Nixon McMillan on May 24, and Sam Shuler on May 31. Recitals in June are being planned and will be announced soon.
