The Indianapolis times., 1926-11-06

During the past year and half
there has been a 25 per cent in
crease in membership and many ma
terial improvements have been
made. The congregation has largely
changed its character and today the
church is rapidly becoming a city
church, When folks attend the
anniversary and homecoming next
Sunday many changes win be no.

The first thing which will attract
the eye is the electric changeable
letter bulletin board located at a
strategic place in front of the
church. Then one cannot help
noticing the new circular drive lead
ing to the main entrance of the
church. This drive is to be COM
pleted this week. AS you enter the
Sunday school room you will notice
that there are seven organized Sun
day school classes with very fine
Mems Bible class.
Then you will notice the silver
loving cup located above the class
record board. This cup is to be
given to the Sunday School class re-
porting the greatest number Of
visitors On the platform in the
front part of the Sunday school the
visitors will see the members of the
Sunday school orchestra.
For today Ebenezer has its own
Sunday school orchestra consisting
of piano, violin, drums, saxophone
and trombone.
| When the visitor goes upstairs to
| the auditorium he will receive one
Of the Weekly Bulletins, which are
printed each week for use as local
church papers. In the worship
| period the visitor will be impressed
by the quiet beauty and reverence
of the services. So at this ninetieth
anniversary the visitor will find this
oldest Lutheran Church rapidly
taking it's place as the outstanding
Lutheran Church Of Indianapolis.
