Hymn text slide

Slide with hymn text and a forest scene produced by the United Church Publishing House in Toronto. Slide was likely used in informal church services or youth events at Stirling Avenue. The text is the third verse of "Tell me the old, old story."

Loading truck with cardboard

A man, possibly Maurice Plummer, loads cardboard onto the back of a truck. Behind him is a shed in which a pile of cardboard can be seen. This is possibly the horse shed, no longer extant, behind Stirling Avenue. The cardboard was likely collected by the "Busy Bees," a Stirling junior youth group doing odd jobs for the Crusaders program, for recycling.

Congregation at Sirko, Basma

A large group gathered outside in a village setting. A label on the photograph reads "Congregation at Sirko, Basma." This is likely related to the work of missionaries Lillian and Cyril Forth, with the Sudan Interior Mission. The Stirling Avenue congregation were supporters of the Forths.

Missionary group

Seven people pose informally on a porch of a house. They are perhaps related to Alice Bachert's missionary work in Colombia, Cyril and Lillian Forth's work in Nigeria with Soudan Interior Mission, or the work of a Mennonite mission organization. The photograph was likely used to illustrate Stirling Avenue's commitment to overseas missions.

Merry Christmas slide

A hand-painted glass slide with a scene of snow-covered house rooftops and the words "Merry Christmas to You All." The picture is singed by Richard Taylor. Slide was produced by the United Church Publishing House in Toronto, and was likely used in informal church services or youth events at Stirling Avenue.
