Baccalaureate Service This Sunday night at 7pm in the Danville High School Auditorium. All are welcome to attend.

Organ Committee Recommendation After many consultations concerning solutions for the water-damaged organ, we (an ad hoc committee including the current organists) believe the best solution was provided by Somerset Media Group for converting our current organ to digital at a cost not exceeding $40,000. The insurance money will cover just over $26,000 of this, and some church members have also offered to contribute to the conversion/repair. We would like to present this to the church at the Spring business meeting for a vote to pursue this solution for the organ.
