A large group, mainly of children, stand in front of a church building. The image appears to be reproduced from a newspaper or magazine. This could be a Mennonite church conference, although Stirling Avenue was an independent congregation in 1939. This could also be a conference for the "Lord's Acre Movement," an American organization that inspired Stirling's Crusaders program.
A father, three children, and a dog stand in a field, probably of potatoes or turnips. Perhaps their farm was used in one of Stirling Avenue's Crusader projects.
A group of boys and girls pose outside in what appears to be a village setting. 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.
Five girls in identical uniform-like dresses with badges that appear to say "CEP." 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.
A group of school children, boys and girls dressed in formal white clothes, hold what appear to be diplomas. 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.
Roderick and Frederick Millar with calf. Crusaders projects raised funds for mission and relief work.The boys pose with a calf outside the home of their parents, Ida and Frederick Millar.
Several men with a group of children in a horse-drawn wagon in front of a barn. Equipment to sort and bag potatoes is also visible in this farm yard. This is probably a group harvesting potatoes for the Stirling Avenue Crusader program.
