A
BRIEF HISTORY OF EAST SIDE'S RADIO MINISTRY
The
radio ministry at East Side Lutheran Church was started by the
Reverend Harry Gregerson on the first Sunday in October 1944
(October 1st). For many years, he desired to see a Lutheran
church broadcast its regular Sunday morning service.
With the
approval of the East Side Church Council, Pastor Gregerson arranged
for KSOO Radio to broadcast several Sunday services on a trial
basis. The reaction of the community was so gratifying and overwhelming
that the broadcast was continued. East Side Lutheran has been
on the air every Sunday since that time. The program has always
been
broadcast from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon and is the longest running,
continuous program on Sioux Falls radio, if not in the Upper
Midwest!
George
Hanson was instrumental in setting up the mechanics of broadcasting
from the church and acted as engineer and announcer for the
program in its infancy. George sat in the office at East Side's
original building and turned on the various microphones altar,
pulpit, choir and announcer as needed. In time, the equipment
for producing the broadcast grew in sophistication.
The
vision of Pastor Gregerson, the devotion of the early pioneers
in this venture, and the continued support of East Side members
have been a service to the Sioux Falls community and the surrounding
area. The broadcast brings the Word of God to shut-ins and to
the whole community. We have listeners in South Dakota, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Iowa.
To
insure continued financial support of this ministry East Side
has set up the Pastor Harry and Tillie Gregerson Media Endowment
Fund. The income from this fund will be used to pay for air-time
on the radio (currently $200/week), equipment purchases and
repair, and for our ever-growing presence on the internet
reaching the world for Christ! Members in the military, in college,
wintering in the south, or traveling anywhere in the world have
access to our weekly worship service!
East
Side Lutheran Church extends our thanks to all who sponsor our
weekly broadcasts, to our listeners, to the staff of KSOO radio,
and to Ken Eckert and all who volunteer to run the soundboard
and faithfully produce this important ministry week after week.
