There was another church in Springburn you didn't mention. It was the Baptist church in Blenheim Street. I attended sunday school there and I remember we had a "kinderspeil" and all the kids had to learn kids church songs. The Gospel Express was one that I recall and it was fun as we all had actions to perform. I lived in Barcaple Street which was just round the corner from the church.
