A new chapter in the history of the Lot 16 United Church ministry of music was written on Sunday, May 19, 2002 , when the family of the late Harold (former elder) and Ella (Williams) MacLean dedicated, in the couple’s memory, an electric piano.

piano in accompaniment with the organ throughout the song worship portion of the service.
