SL —— LE I BE PE LE ID I EE IL Junior Church is an exciting time as hundreds of third, fourth, fifth, and sixth graders come together in the main audito- rium of the First Baptist Church. As the children enter the auditorium, they are directed where to sit. The service includes singing, announcements, a Gospel message, and an invitation. At the end of the service those wanting to be saved are led to the church’s Fellowship Hall where they are carefully dealt with concerning Junior @Churck salvation. If a child asks Christ to be his Savior, he is questioned by different peo- ple to be sure he understands what he has done, and any questions are answered. Those wanting to be baptized are led to the baptismal dressing rooms. Each week dozens of youngsters are baptized. Often you can see on the glass front of the baptis- try that several inches of water have gone from the baptistry because of the many, many converts’ baptisms. Christian Service-179

SS SS SS Se ee en en a a ESSE Teenagers are at an age when many decide in what direction their lives will go. Teachers give themselves to di- rect the teens in the right way to live. The goal for the Fall Program was to teach the teenagers to be “Su- per Christians” by for- saking the old life and sinful habits. Fach week teenagers were given points for reading and memorizing the Bible, praying, dressing prop- erly, and behaving in church. Weekly, “Super Christians” were cho- sen, and the boy and girl with the highest points for the whole program received trophies. Sunday school against a particular sin, and the sin again was preached on in church. One Sun- day the “Old Crowd” was the theme. A Sun- day school lesson was taught on this; then dur- ing church a skit was presented with “New Convert” being rescued from the “Old Crowd” by “Super Christian.” Good Christian friends and Christian schools were emphasized on this Sunday. 1.
