Follow the Pipes

You are invited!

Each year, the Fort Wayne Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, in partnership with the Fort

Wayne Historical Society, presents Follow the Pipes. Follow the Pipes is a series of short 30-minute

organ recitals over a span of 3 days at various churches and venues around Fort Wayne that give

interested audience members the opportunity to hear several different recitals in a single day.

A Note from Pastor Nate

By Pastor Nate Widener • July 28, 2025
St. Peter’s Family, My wife Amy and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of love you have shown us over the last several weeks. This past weekend, my oldest daughter Gwyn was married to our wonderful son-in-law Benjamin Corley, and we couldn’t be happier. But, what made it all the sweeter was seeing so many of your caring and supportive faces in the congregation. Similarly, as you know, just a few short weeks ago I lost my father, Nick Widener, and I cannot express to you the depth of my thankfulness for all of the condolences that you have given me and my family. Your cards are all sitting on the windowsill of my office. Without question St. Peter’s is a loving and caring congregation, and this is part of what makes you so great. Thank you for taking care of us, so that we can also take care of you. May God Bless you, Pastor Nate
