Echo of Joy

Hegre, 1943

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I recently noticed this calendar and advertisement from 1943 hanging on a bulletin board at Hegre. It's pretty much the coolest thing ever.





It says the church is located in Skyberg, Minnesota. There's still a sign for Skyberg, but it really isn't a town anymore. (There are many such signs around here. Some just say the town name and some say "former site of..." whatever town.) The pastor must have come from Wanamingo.





This one is blurry, but you may be able to tell that Sunday school was held every week, but worship only every other week. The pastor must have had several churches to cover.





Such an interesting piece of history!

(By the way, you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them, which is true in all the posts.)
