Finally, at 6:00 p.m. the time has come to dedicate our brand new 79-stop, four-manual Allen Renaissance Organ.

Harold DeCou
You'll also enjoy a wonderful organ concert from renowned keyboardist and composer Harold DeCou. Harold DeCou is one of America's foremost sacred keyboard artists. He is also a composer and arranger of sacred music. He served as organist for a church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for fourteen years and also served as staff organist at a church in Peoria, Illinois, for fourteen years. However, Harold's service to church music has not been limited to the local church. Extensive participation in concerts, workshops, evangelistic crusades, and conferences have been part of his ministry throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

Be a part of this glorious celebration by attending one or all of these events!
