It's nice to hear that you still use a pipe organ at your church, as so many are no longer in use now.
I noticed that big time - especially around my area. That’s crazy sad.
WOW! THAT'S A WORSHIP SERVICE!
This is really cool, praise God
Simply outstanding!
Very impressive! Both you and Ben pair together well. I wish I could have been there.
