Thank You to Our Donors
Donors cite various reasons for supporting church ministries. HPCUMC’s organ concert series resonates with benefactor Ron Thain because the organ is a complex instrument that “exposes people to lots of other instruments” through its various sound qualities.

Sentimentality is at the essence of Larry McGruder’s underwriting: Twenty-seven years ago, Larry and his then-bride-to-be Jill arrived at the stone chapel where they were to be married, only to discover that a moving truck was ready to haul away the chapel’s antique organ. “We convinced movers to hold off loading the instrument until after the wedding. And since then, beautiful organ music holds special meaning for us.”

HPCUMC thanks these donors and others—and welcomes inquiries into funding future performances.
