AGO plays and sings

One way we organists stay sharp and in touch is through a group called the Lancaster Chapter of the A. G. O. (American Guild of Organists). The A.G.O. (people just say Ay-Gee-Oh) held its monthly meeting at our church last evening. The program was organ pieces based on hymns and then singing the hymn. Six organists played and the chaplain, front right, Tim Craven, introduced the hymns--Now Thank We All Our God, Holy God We Praise Thy Name, Be Thou My Vision, What God Ordains Is Good Indeed, God Whose Giving, and Praise to the Lord the Almighty.

The beaming-faced organists in the pic are, l to r, Joy Ide, Margaret Marsch, Peter Brown, David Gross, Carl Tobias, and Peter Omundsen.

A dozen or two of our Neffsville people came out and helped raise up the glorious sound of congregational singing. Thanks to them all.

The AGO is not new to us. Former organist Janet had been a member for many years.
