32 Days: The Klais Organ is at the C.B. Fisk Workshop
As we take substantial steps forward with mitigation -- from drywall and flooring onward to organs and mechanical systems -- we continue to learn more and more about the extent of damage. I am thankful for the widening team of professionals that are lending their expertise to us. I hope this level of care will, as it has for me, continue to give hope in this time.
Grace and peace to you,
Jared R. Stahler
Senior Pastor
