HISTORY MYSTERY

"The Douglas Park Church of the Brethren is looking forward to celebrating their 100 year anniversary in 2010. The congregation has been busy going through files and storage areas finding interesting historical items of meetinghouse and community ministry. These five pictures were found in this process and we are wondering if you can help identify any of the brothers and sisters in the photos. They may even be from the former Hastings Street Mission and Bible School.
