This has been so enjoyable. I remember most of the oddities listed. I also thought the birthday doings were unique to our local church.
We were so proud to put our pennies for our age in the "bank", we had a round metal birthday cake with a hole in the middle to drop in our pennies.
Yes to the song, the pennies, the pencil....
And the perfect attendance pin with hang ons for further years. You got a pin first;next perfect SS attendance was a wreath around the pin, and then bars to hang from it for additional years.
I recall most of the expressions.
If a hymn had several verses you never sang all 4 or 5.
I'm "older" so we went to youth rallies or fellowship meetings in a station wagon with 3 rows of seats. It was a 57 chevrolet station wagon and the pastor had a 57 chev sedan. (just think....we had a classic
).
