Constructed in 1862 as a hops barn, this establishment was converted into a church in 1876. Then…read morere-sold in 1915 to a local farmer, the livestock barn existed on the site from 1915 to 1998 before it was purchased by members of the Pokagon United Methodist. Rev. George Bennard was visiting the area to take part in a series of revivals, and his famous hymn "The Old Rugged Cross" was first publicly performed in 1913. The hymn did not make Rev. Bernard rich. However, he sold the rights to the Rodeheaver Company of Winona Lake, Indiana, for $500, and the copyright was renewed years later for $5,000. The Old Rugged Cross Church is located on Vermont St. in Pokagon, about halfway between Dowagiac and Niles, where my partner's sister and I stopped off the beaten path before heading to Shipshewana.

My husband and I found out about this church by accident! We were simply searching for things to…read moredo in Niles, Michigan. We were determined to find something to do close to dark and finally found this on the Internet. The hymn, The Old Rugged Cross, was first performed in this church many years ago. The hymn is near and dear to our hearts because our grandparents used to enjoy singing this song and my husband has enjoyed playing it on the piano for our children. We decided to check it out! The outside of the church is stunning! We were not able to view the inside but if we ever make it back to this area of the country we will certainly stop to see it! You should do the same especially if you enjoy this old hymn!

We have…read moregained the support and friendship of an entire parish community when we entered into the Catholic faith. Father Keith McClellan is an amazing priest and the most selfless and caring person. He is a wonderful leader for our Church and our school children love him and his adorable little dog Rocco. Notre Dame Catholic School has also provided my daughter with the highest quality education since she was enrolled in preschool ten years ago. I'm so glad I chose Notre Dame Catholic Church & School for my daughter's education as well as our place of worship.

The staff shut the door on my children at the drop off line and made them walk to the front of the school. Yesterday, the principal let several WHITE children in the school from the front door and told my family they had to go to the back of the drop off life. A teacher asked my child did I forget to finish doing her hair. Nothing has been done about this. And when I put up a fuss we got kicked out! They currently teach the children songs about picking cotton and had the song had nothing to do with "field working." The song originated from said "hang them "NIGGERS FROM A TREE." And today the princapl walked up to MY car and opened my door demanding that I speak with her!
