The concert will be followed by an elegant dessert buffet reception, and all proceeds will benefit the $10,000 Organ Fund for maintenance and renovations of the historic 1890 Woodberry and Harris tracker organ. A minimum donation of $15 per person is suggested. Call the church office at 508-947-1935 for reservations or more information.
