There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book.

But in the movie, that scene was not present, therefore there is no reason for the children to know Reverend Sykes because the segregation of the 30's would normally eliminate all friendly contact with a person of the opposite race.
