This event is NOT a "come and sit for 4 hours" kind of event! This is intended to be an "OPEN HOUSE" activity where the community is being invited to come-and-go, to celebrate and EXPERIENCE hearing a beautiful instrument that, along with "In-Person Worship", is in a bit of a "shift" in drawing people together "to the church house" to share the Holy Spirit that is within them with those around them.
