Thanks Noel for making note of that (pun intended).  Rarely do I ever play 
anything for a postlude that is not a hymn.  I believe the people need to leave 
the church with a melody in their mind that is familiar to them.  And many, 
many times after I finish the postlude, I hear people humming that same tune in 
the hallways!  Some even request that we sing that hymn the next Sunday.  I 
also try to select hymns which we have not sung recently, just to refresh the 
melody in their minds.  Yes, we as organists have a great impact on the 
congregation.
