Organ Recitals at Emmanuel  PLEASE NOTE THIS PAGE IS NOT YET UP-DATED

The Friday Organ recital series at Emmanuel was started by Andrew Fletcher in October 2009. They are given on the first Friday of each month at 1pm, from October through June. Entry is free with a retiring collection, and refreshments are available afterwards in the Church Hall.
