Ijlst - Gereformeerde Kerk
A postcard photo of the Reformed Church (Gereformeerd, now PKN) in Ijlst in the late 1930s. Between 1943 and 1947 my parents lived in this small Friesian city - it was the first church dad worked with after his ordinattion to Christian ministry.
My mother saved postcards of the places where in the Netherlands she and her growing family had lived, as well as other pictures for the family photo album. As we migrated to Australia in 1951 when the eldest of her children was only 5, this photo album was an important way of keeping us kids in touch with our country of birth.
