And your post brought to mind my old church in Ontario - girls club, German school, choosing books in the basement library, Sunday School teachers and sitting on the front bench with all the other kids in church trying to be good!Bev Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270938389792314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-24628382101920514302012-02-05T17:36:05.266-08:002012-02-05T17:36:05.266-08:00What a great photo from a by-gone era!

That looks much like the parking lot at the country church I attended long ago...and I too have good memories of my Sunday School teachers. (Miss Riediger, Miss Willms, Mrs. Hamm, Miss Wiens, Mrs. Warkentine. I'm sure they had first names as well...but we never knew them in those days!)Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-6824628085034136142012-02-05T13:31:00.849-08:002012-02-05T13:31:00.849-08:00After a somewhat flustered morning teaching the pr...After a somewhat flustered morning teaching the preschoolers at our church I came home and came across this post. I teared up reading, thinking that maybe God could use even this young mother's rushed preparations to build into the lives of the kids in our church.

Haha!) Mennonites!<br />I am curious to know which church this is?<br />I love history...and am interested to know.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481900938151798692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-15092092070966230182012-02-03T16:38:21.809-08:002012-02-03T16:38:21.809-08:00We usually lived close enough to walk to church......We usually lived close enough to walk to church... but that does not change some of the same memories inside.

Your family car is my favorite, too. Very snazzy with the white top and turquoise bottom.
