Larry's Rebels In Church

Pictures Of Interest To All

Churches are concerned these days that the world is getting ahead of them, but many would question that the way to attract worshippers is to invite pop groups to take part.

The usual evening congregation of about 40 was increased to over 300 at the Birkenhead Methodist Church recently when the minister, the Rev B. Hilder, teamed up with a leading pop group, Larry's Rebels, for the evening service.

The group sang protest songs and played modernised versions of hymns.

"The. aim of this service is to show the joys and certainties of the Church today through an idiom of today," said the minister.
