Database Manager on September 05, 2005:

Online update from Wyett H. Colclasure II -- A note on the church's location. The church is in the community known as Hickory, but it is served by the Bel Air post office (ZIP 21014). Since I had last seen it several years previous the sanctuary has had the wood floors carpeted. This instrument is well maintained, though most services are now held in a new building so it is not used heavily
