See note at bottom of story and lots of photos -
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.
