VIDA COM UNITY
SUNDAY SCHOOL

Since the year 1913 there has
been a Sunday School at Vida.
The first was organized by Mrs.
Fanny Vane, Mrs. c. E. Mason and
Mrs. John Lowers. We then had
no regular pastor but the Rev.
Hays Caldwell and the Rev. Co
wan were here every few Sundays.
There was always a large at
tendance. Mrs. Cowan played a
very active part in our little Sun
day School until she moved else
where. Mrs. Mason was at the
head of the Sunday School until
1925, when she moved to her Iowa
home.
The Sunday School then rather
died down as the saying goes, until
a wear ago when Sig Jensen and
Mr.. and Mrs. Merriman organized
a Sunday School which at present
is being held in the Vida school
house as the Lutheran Sunday
School.
Having no resident pastor the
Vida community thought it better
to have one large non-denomina-
tional church with no one religion
predominating. This is now what
we rae striving for and we have
made a wonderful start.
Many persons are confused on
this Sunday School proposition and
we want it plainly understood that
everyone is welcome who is will
ing to help make this a strictly
community Sunday School and
church. Every denomination is in
vited to attend.-Contributed.
