St. Mary's Organ Fund
St. Mary's started a fund drive to purchase a new organ to replace the old one. Due to worsening condition of the old organ, St. Mary's vestry approved for the immediate purchase of a new Allen organ. The organ was delivered on February 16 and dedicated on March 2, 2008 in honor of organist James Robinson. Anyone interested in making a contribution, please contact Father Russ. Checks can be made payable to: St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Organ Fund, PO Box 990, Bluefield, VA 24605.
