Two Bluffton churches could not get through their Sunday morning worship services without Scott Edwards.
He has a reserved front row seat at English Lutheran Church and First United Methodist. That’s because he is the organist of both congregations.
On Nov. 24, English Lutheran recognized Edwards for his 60-plus years as organist at 111 Grove Street.

Bluffton has a new downtown retail shop, and it opened just in time for the holidays.
Roots by Strattons, a satellite of Stratton Greenhouses, opened this week in the former Et Cetera Shop, 111 S. Main St.
Susie Stratton, says, “It’s a dream come true. For several years we’ve wanted to open a storefront on Main Street.”
Residents with a very long memory can recall Susie’s “Plants and Things,” storefront on Main Street from 1977 to 1979. So, in a way, it’s a return downtown.
