Greetings everyone:
Mr. Apartian is in Phoenix this Sabbath. Mr. Winnail is in Helena, Montana. I am here in San Diego, like a bird in a cage, waiting for his turn to fly away to heavenly Montana!
Last Sabbath Mr. Fall had a special weekend of activities in Los Angeles, which drew young people from around the area. Also, he ordained Mr. Don Roach a Church Elder and Mrs. Susan Meredith Deaconess. We are happy for them and trust they will continue to serve the Los Angeles Church faithfully.
Mr. Meredith's Member/Co-Worker letter is due to be mailed out next week. He refers to the serious drought and fire conditions here in the USA. Because this country is so vast and diversified, serious problems for many seem far away and insignificant. For most Americans it is only when "my ox is gored" that the pain is realized. I guess God will have to multiply our national woes to forcibly gain our attention.
MEDIA
We are finally seeing fruit borne from our acquisition of the "Intellectual Property" of Global Church of God (acquired from the court appointed Trustee) last spring. Editorial informs me that "Which Day Is The Christian Sabbath" has now been republished and will be offered on the telecast next season.
Also, the Bible Course lesson 6 will be mailed out next week.
The September-October issue of Tomorrow's World is in the mail — direct from R. R. Donnelly in Senatobia, MS. Articles in include:
- "Is the Beast Awakening?" feature article by Mr. Meredith
- "Does Character Really Matter?" by Mr. John Ogwyn
- "Return of The Dragon" by Mr. Douglas Winnail
- "What Is True Education?" by Mr. Richard Ames
- "Why America Is Losing Valuable Friends and Allies" by Rod McNair
The Living Church News will be mailed out September 11 and 12, and lesson Seven of the Bible Course has been printed and will be mailed out in cycle.
INTERNATIONAL AREAS
We are still waiting for the court in Scotland to finalize the proceedings concerning certain matters before the court, which should finally permit us to move forward in the UK. We are confident that we shall prevail in God's time.
Our Brethren in Sri Lanka need our prayers. The national government is in crisis, and civil unrest may become serious. Please pray for our brethren there.
