St. Mark's Hosts Southeast Texas 'Hymn Fest'

An enthusiastic congregation joined members of the Beaumont Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) for an afternoon of sacred song on Sunday, September 10. Seven organists led the crowd through an array of favorite hymns, played by seven members of the AGO.

"We were honored to host this event for the second year at St. Mark's. Our glorious Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ is among the finest in the region, and it was a treat to hear the unique sounds different organists created," Organist-Choirmaster Jordan Williams said.

The St. Mark's choir helped lead the singing, but all were encouraged to lift up their voices in praise! A festive reception followed in the Cloister. Photos can be found below.
