Welcome
Welcome to the website for the Music & Fine Arts Department at Second Presbyterian Church.
Anima Sacra
The Music and Fine Arts Series of Second Presbyterian Church: Encountering God through the arts and artists of our congregation. Unless otherwise noted, all music and worship events are free and open to the public.
Now through August 16
Visit the McFarland Hall Art Gallery, now exhibiting paintings by Marian Johnson O’Haver Greene. Marian has always been interested in art. She majored in French and Fine Arts at Indiana University and went on to teach art and become an art supervisor in the Marion and Indianapolis public schools. She has exhibited her work widely and has won many awards for her paintings. Marian’s favorite subjects are landscapes and abstractions; she works in watercolor and other media. She says, “All God has created is art, and we celebrate that creation in our artistic work.”
Upcoming Music Events

The Sanctuary Choir and Festival Brass and Dr. Heather Hinton at the Aeolian-Skinner organ, under the direction of Dr. Michelle L. Louer, will lead the congregation in worship and present works by Ralph Vaughn Williams, John Rutter, and Giovanni Gabrieli.
Suncatchers - Meghan’s Angels
Second’s Music and Fine Arts Department proudly presents “Meghan’s Angels,” , The Lord’s Prayer. This beautiful, etched, crystal suncatcher features a praying angel and the Lord’s Prayer scripture reference. Packed in giftable white cases, you may purchase at $15 each or two for $25, during Coffee Hours on Sunday mornings and in the Music and Fine Arts office throughout the week. Proceeds will benefit the MFA Outreach Ministry Fund for adult and children’s choir missions.
The eleven Narthex windows, from which the suncatchers were copied, were commissioned in 1990 after gifted chorister Meghan Kelly Parker was killed in a tragic automobile accident. Her mother, Barbara, now serves an Illinois Presbyterian congregation as Senior Pastor.
The Parker family wholeheartedly endorses this MFA project, hoping “Meghan’s Angels” will bring a bit of their namesake’s beauty and strong faith to you and to those whom you love. More information.
