PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL.3, N0.13
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Special Film to Be Viewed Nationwide
MARCH 27, 1981
Plans are now complete for distribution of the special film that Mr.
Herbert Armstrong wants shown to all the churches in the U.S. The film,
as you recall from last week's Pastor General's Report, is Mr. Armstrong's
March 7th, 79-minute sermon to the Southern California churches, trans
mitted by microwave from Tucson.
All U.S. pastors should have already been informed when the film is to be
shown in their churches, who will be sending it to them, and where they
will need to ship it for the next Sabbath's viewing.
Please be assured that we want this project to run as smoothly and
efficie11tly as you do. It is our desire that you have complete confidence
in all of the details--without any doubts or confusion whatsoever. If
there is anything that you need clarification on, please don't hesitate
to call Andre Zick at Ministerial Services for assistance.
A checklist and instruction reminder will be included in each film case.
SHIPPING PROCEDURES: The entire success of this project lies, for the
most part, with the shipping procedures. We need to guarantee that each
film reaches the next church area on time for Sabbath services the follow
ing week.
Ideally, of course, it would be wise to hand deliver the film--where
feasible--from one church area to the ne� However, since this is not
always possible, shipping the film becomes necessary.
Whatever method you use, BE PROMPT. Ship the film to the next church
area as soon as possible.
In most cases, U.P.S. will do the job adequately at a moderate cost-
especially if the area you are shipping to is nearby. U.P.S. has the
advantage that an immediate trace can be put on the film if it does happen
to get lost. However, if you are in an area where you know the service is
poor, or you need to ship the film long distances, EXPRESS MAIL can be
used. EXPRESS MAIL often guarantees overnight delivery between many
metropolitan centers for a price of $10 to $20. In certain extreme cases,
it may be necessary to send the film by an air freight service--such as
EMERY EXPRESS or AIRBORNE.
(However, this situation will probably be very
rare.) The cost for air freight service averages $25. If in doubt, or
if you have any questions whatsoever as to how you should ship the film,
please contact Dave Simpson at the Shipping and Warehousing Department in
Pasadena.
The last church scheduled to view each film should ship it promptly back
to Pasadena (in care of Ambassador Television Productions--300 West Green
Street, Pasadena, California 91123). U.P.S. will be adequate for this
purpose.
