The organ is a gift from The Annunciation of the Lord Catholic Church in Decatur to the local Episcopal congregation.

Special guest musicians were the members of PLUS ONE which, in addition to Donna Akers, includes Mayor Don Kyle, Wayne White, Larry Littleton and Todd Whatley. Dottie White joined the group for a closing hymn using hand bells.
PLUS ONE performs at church and community events around Morgan County. St. Barnabas is located at 1450 Sparkman St. and gathers every Sunday at 10:00 for worship and Holy Eucharist.
