Newspaper Entries,
Gospel Meeting announcements, VBS flyers, Etc.:
Note:
Most newspaper entries are from “The LaGrange Standard” or “The Countian”
(both printed by LaGrange Publishing Company).
The primary newspaper company used by the congregation to advertise events was LaGrange Publishing Company, which published the LaGrange Standard, LaGrange News and The Countian. The congregation occasionally also printed ads in the Wolcottville Herald, Sturgis Journal, and Gateway Shopper’s Guide. Newspaper ads published in the LaGrange Publishing Company newspapers were obtained from microfilm at the Carnegie Public Library in LaGrange.
The LaGrange Standard and LaGrange News normally included a section titled “In The Churches”, which printed the schedule of services for the congregation and occasionally other additional information contributed by the congregation. The congregation’s listing in the newspaper’s “In the Churches” section is linked below for every week from the first listing July 30, 1953 to the end of 1960. After 1960, only about 5-6 listings are linked, because the information changed less frequently.
During
most of Paul Hosse’s two years at LaGrange, the
topics of the Sunday morning and evening sermons, Thursday evening Bible class,
and Saturday morning children’s Bible hour were printed in the “In The Churches”
listing for the congregation. Advertisements were placed for gospel meetings,
Vacation Bible Schools, Bible correspondence courses, new minister arrivals,
church building construction projects, and general public service announcements
admonishing Bible study.
