Description:Text transcribed from caption: #957 BIBLE CLASSES FOR “UNCHURCHED” CHILDREN GREAT FALLS, Montana --Fifteen Protestant churches in Great Falls, have just conducted 37 successful weekly Bible story hours in an effort to reach children of the city who have never or seldom attended Sunday school. Mrs. Bruce E. Mills, wife of the Minister of First Baptist Church, and chairman of the program, leads a group at the home of Mrs. Rose Hill (seated in rear). About 370 of the 700 children in Great Falls without church contact attended the sessions. Conducted in homes all over the city, and centered especially in areas where the census showed many children not attending Sunday schools, the Bible story hours were carried out in the hope that children would be interested enough to eventually enter Sunday schools. Plans are now being considered to conduct another series in the spring. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (MB-GF-MB-11-5-5)Creator:Zaugg, Ernest.
