JUNIOR CHURCH The world’s largest junior church convenes every Sunday in the auditorium of the First Baptist Church. After the close of the morning church service, 6,000 people file out, and, within just a few minutes, about two thousand junior age children begin to fill the main level of the First Ba ptist Church auditorium. Special moni- tors are standing throughout the building to help maintain order. An average Sunday in this junior church sees singing, skits, and scores of salvation decisions. 1. Barry Pulley helps to direct a slow moving junior towards his seat. (Miss Folger looks on with obvious interest from the back- ground.) 2. Hundreds of children stand and prepare to sing a Gospel song. 3. Julie White demonstrates the care the Hyles-Anderson College students have to- ward the bus kids of Chicago. 4. Bro. Ray Young, the director of junior church. 100 — Christian Ministries
