St. Mary’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church continues its musical offerings with a holiday organ concert on Saturday, December 4th at 5:00 pm.  Frequent organ soloist and choral accompanist, Dr. Cathryn Wilkinson, will play a selection of music entitled, In the Moon of Wintertime: Peaceful and Joyful Music for Advent and Christmas.
