Our trips to the Pacific Garden Mission in
Chicago have been quite memorable as we have
seen a recording being done of the Unshackled
radio program, toured the mission and taken them
socks, underwear and t-shirts . Thanks for the
generosity of the WTGN listeners.
WTGN had some great concerts through the years
including the 1999 Farewell Tour of the Cathedrals.

September Half Sharadays
11 - Today is underwritten by Lima First Assembly of God, 1660
Findlay Road. “As of today, September 11, 2016, we will be sharing
in 3 services: 8:30, 10 & 11:30 AM, to accommodate our growth.
God has truly blessed us. If you are looking for a church home, we
would love for you to visit us.”
12 - By Kate and Ted Stepleton in memory of Margaret and J. Paul
Fisher who were her wonderful parents and her two sisters, Lilly
and Sally. They have gone to be with Jesus. Their favorite station
was WTGN.
25 - “In loving memory of Walter Powers - we love and miss you Judy, Debbie, Cindy, Charity and families. He is in the presence of
God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior - walking
streets of gold.” Psalm 19:7 - 10, “The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making
wise the simple. The statues of the LORD are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the
eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be
desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also
than honey and the honeycomb.”
anniversary of WTGN. We are so blessed to have this ministry in
the Lima and surrounding community. If WTGN went off the air
for 48 hours - how would it affect your life? Your routine would
likely be changed - with minor conflicts or major changes in your
life. If you knew it would soon return to the air waves, you would
hang on and appreciate it’s return? What if it didn’t return? That is
tough to imagine? Congratulations, WTGN! We appreciate you,
are proud of you, and would be lost without you. May you continue to Witness The Good News for another 50+ years!
