Audio Recordings of Sermons, 1958 - 1969

 Series — Multiple Containers

Scope and Contents

With a few exceptions, this series contains audio recordings related to North Park Covenant Church (Chicago, IL) and focuses on the preaching of Douglas Cedarleaf. Most often, the audio recording includes an entire worship service including announcements, prayers, and singing; the original labels on the reels usually contain the titles of the sermons and archival staff have choosen to continue this approach in the archival description.

While the focus is on Cedarleaf's sermons, other people are also featured on these recordings. These include Jean Lambert, Eric Hawkinson, Fred Holmgren, William Liljegren, William Rigmark, Alden Johnson, Donald Frisk, Karl A. Olsson, Zenos Hawkinson and others; some are attributed to North Park Covenant Church as an organization.
