October 29, 2023 service for the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City. Sermon by the Reverend J Sylvan. Today’s musical Halloween treat is the Estey pump organ. (One of David’s favorite things!) Built in 1907 by the very same company that built our pipe organ, it wonderfully lends itself to a broad spectrum of musical delights. As well: we gratefully welcome and thank Lori Shields and Jim Thornburg for sharing their talents with us.
