The Wicks Pipe Organ has been part of our church music community since it was built and installed in 1985. The weekly Closer Walk Bible Study, under the leadership of Pastor John Coulombe, recently held a 30 year Organ Anniversary Concert featuring our pipe organ and four outstanding organists who played it for years in worship and praise: Margaret Sanders, our church organist for many years; Ed Bridgeford, chairman of the original organ project; Tom Leonard, a regular guest organist over the years, and Richard Unfried, who followed Margaret as our church organist for two decades.
With 450 in attendance on a Wednesday morning, April 6, the concert featured hymns as well as several wonderful pipe organ classics. Videos were made of the four organists that give a good sense of the program of music and the spirit of joy that made up the mid-morning concert. Enjoy the videos below!
