Improvements at Baptist church building noted
The Baptist church edifice underwent repairs and improvements including a raised platform, removal of the partition between choir loft and pulpit, and addition of drapery. The baptistry was moved from under the platform, and the south choir entrance altered to create an open baptistry space. The changes are described as pleasing and advantageous though not fully appreciated by all readers.
Baptist Church Sees Growth and New Members
The church reports stronger finances and a larger congregation with new members expected to join. A new furnace improves comfort in severe cold. Worshippers are invited to services at 11:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Evening music by the ladies quartet is a pleasing feature.
