This special hymn festival will feature the world premiere of an organ work commissioned to celebrate the 175th anniversary of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, the 130th anniversary of the St. Mark's church building, and the 15th anniversary of Dr. Timothy Zerlang as Director of Music at St. Mark's.

Suggested $10 at-will donation (at the door) to support building restoration. A light reception will follow.
