The organ is in memory of the couple’s late children, Thelma, David and Mervyn and was supplied by Allen Organs Belfast whose representative, Mr Stephen Corry, gave an organ recital during the service.

Organist, Mrs Elizabeth White, who has been a faithful servant of the church for years, said she was looking forward to playing the new instrument which she described as beautiful and which has been tailored to suit the Ramoan Church building.
