St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church music director and organist Jonathan Noel, right, talks with church members Dale and Lois Grove of West Manchester Township on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011, about the church's new organ that is being installed as part of the church's $4 million renovation. Noel said the organ will have a warmer tone and will be dedicated on Nov. 13. St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church dedicated its $4 million addition and renovation on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011, that was in the works for about six years. The renovations include a larger pipe organ, a double-sided elevator, an updated child-care area, an expanded parking area and a lobby off a new main entrance from West Market Street.

Words and Light 
These are beautiful photographs, and I especially like the sunburst in the top image. I’ve never been in this church and didn’t realize how spacious it was.
Thanks for sharing.
The sunburst was something I didn’t even notice until I loaded the photos on the computer, but it’s one of my favorite things, too. I’ve had the opportunity to make pictures in quite a few churches in the York area, and I love how beautiful all the churches are.
nice use of light!
