November 12-14, 2004, Sligo Church celebrated the completion of its sanctuary restoration and the installation of its new Great organ with the theme: Remember, Rejoice, Renew. The weekend’s activities honored the congregation’s rich history of worship, ministry and partnership with the community, as well as advances in its mission for the 21st Century. Worship services and programs also featured the sound of the new Rodgers organ, one of the largest in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. It incorporates some of the pipework from the former organ more than doubling the resources of the former instrument.
“Sligo Church is poised to be a new kind of presence in the local community and for the nation’s capital,” said Senior Pastor, Peter Bath. “We are excited to see how God will continue to lead us in the way we should go.”
Former senior pastors reminisced about their tenures at Sligo on Friday night. On Sabbath, the early worship service featured the contributions of Sligo women in ministry to the local community and to the worldwide church. During the 11:15 worship service, the congregation covenanted together to give “heart and mind and strength and soul to lift high the cross of Christ.”
