Jerz, did ya’ll ever ride in cars around the neighborhood at the beginning of VBS honking your horns and yelling out the windows, “Come to vacation Bible school!” Maybe that was just a Methodist thing. I think the cars may have been decorated too.
Did your church have a “cry room?” A place you could take your crying baby, feed a baby, or receive discipline from you parents. Both our UMC and SB church had cry rooms.
I can remember the church bells ringing on Sunday mornings as a call to worship. You could hear them, IDK, for maybe a couple of miles away.
The only times I got to do GAs (Girls in Action) was when I’d go to church with a Baptist friends. RAs (Royal Ambassadors)were for the boys. Sometimes I’d attend a Lutheran church when I went with another friend to church.
Here is a link to the stained glass window in the church I attended as a child.

So many memories are surfacing as I read this thread. One is the sound the coins made when you dropped them into the wooden offering plate that was lined with green felt.
