Vintage Church-Craft Pictures Stori-Strip: Annanais and Saphira


Church-Craft Pictures Inc. of St. Louis Missouri was the long time ministry of the Kiehl family (Rev. Paul G. Kiehl and his father Rev. Henry G. Kiehl) which started in the 1940s and lasted for over 50 years. Church-Craft produces numerous visual aids for school and church use, and were pioneers in story viewers used in schools for decades. The kit pictured above includes a long vertical film strip that would have been inserted into the Story-viewer with a story to read with the images.

Church-Craft also produced several films, probably the most famous one today is the Christmas short "Brightest Night".
