Church Getting New Organ

NWA Democrat-Gazette/ANDY SHUPE Chris Goodnight (from left), and Tracey Mitchell, lift a wind chest Wednesday as fellow craftsmen Joe Granger and Mike Meyer, prepare to install it while constructing a new organ in the sanctuary at Central United Methodist Church in Fayetteville. The organ was a gift from an anonymous church member and will require more than a year, from concept to final installation, to be complete. Workers are constructing the instrument at their facility in Champaign, Ill., and bringing it down to install it over an expected 30 work days during the coming months as a part of a larger renovation of the sanctuary and its music apparatus.
