Greetings everyone,
It grieves us to have to tell you that Mr. Carl McNair died last night at 6 p.m. in Helena, MT. His wife, Dorothy, and children were with him as he peacefully went to sleep. He was an outstanding servant of God and faithful to the end. His future in the Kingdom of God is set and secure. Letters and cards can be sent to Mrs. McNair at:

CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
Mr. and Mrs. Roderick Meredith have arrived back home from South Africa, safe and in good health. I'm sure that, as time goes along, he will tell us more about their very successful and encouraging visit with the brethren and ministry there. Mr. and Mrs. Ames, Mr. and Mrs. Apartian and I also had very inspiring trips out to various congregations during the Spring Festivals. More on those trips later.
Mr. Gerald Weston writes:
"Living Youth Camp applications are now available for Pre-teen camps in Missouri and Texas and the teen camp in Michigan. Because we were late in getting them out, the April 15 deadline is extended, but we ask that you fill out and send in your applications as soon as possible. You can acquire an application at the unofficial church member-sponsored website: www.youth-web.org. You may also get an application by calling Sue Ruddlesden at: 704-844-1970, Ext 235."
From Kansas City:
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ogwyn are now settled in Kansas City and fully involved in the Pastoral Training program. Mr. Rand Millich is the Regional Pastor there and will be working with Mr. Ogwyn over the coming months. We are delighted to have the Ogwyns on board and moving forward in their preparation and training to serve God and His people.
Announcement to be read out at Sabbath Services:
We regret to inform you that Mr. Larry Hart, from Australia, has been disfellowshipped from the Living Church of God. It is now imperative that he be marked, for the protection of our members, and that we warn brethren of the Living Church of God to avoid him. The Church bears Mr. Hart no ill and we pray that God will grant him repentance.
COMMENTS
Reports coming into Headquarters about the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread are positive and promising. It appears that we are gaining ground in Church attendance and Holy Day offerings. As we receive more complete reports, we will pass the good news on to all of you.
In Christian love,
Charles E. Bryce
