Gratz – Community Bible School

An undated picture of the first Community Daily Bible Vacation Bible School ever held in Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.  In the background is the Evangelical Church, located on West Market Street.  The caption that came with this photo did not identify the children nor did it identify the adults by location.  However, the only man in the picture can be assumed to be Rev. Fasnacht.

Caption:

These youngsters constituted Community Daily Vacation Bible School which recently came to an end in Gratz.  This was the first of these schools ever to be held in the borough.  The enrollment was 75, representing the Evangelical, Lutheran and Reformed Sunday Schools.  The instructors were the Rev. J. J. Fasnacht, Mrs. Blair Schminky and Miss Helen Klinger.  Miss Phylis Hoover was pianist.
