KILGORE, Texas — Congregants of many denominations gathered at First Presbyterian Church of Kilgore Sunday evening for one common goal: to lift up their voices in musical worship while celebrating the rededication of a historic Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ.

“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” was a festival of hymns and church music held at First Presbyterian to officially celebrate the completion of extensive repairs to the church’s 1949 Aeolian-Skinner, Opus 1173 and the return of the organ to regular use in worship.

“This is an important occasion in the life of our congregation,” said Rev. Will Wilson, First Presbyterian pastor.
