FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Feast Transfers Between U.S. and Canada
APRIL 2 4, 1981
Good news! Festival transfers between our two countries are now simpler
than ever. Pastors on both sides of the border will soon be receiving
computer printouts on which to record festival information from each
member family. Therefore, letters to the Pasadena and Vancouver offices
are no longer necessary.
Members in Canada requesting transfer to a U.S. site (and vice versa) will
simply record that request on the Festival Attendance List in their home
church area. Their transfer will then be considered in the appropriate
office. The approval will show up on the next list their pastor receives,
again in the home church. (Those who have already written letters need to
follow""thTs"" - procedure as well.)
This process will save both offices a great deal of time, as well as
giving us more accurate statistics. Complete instructions for pastors
and further updates will be in the mail shortly. Transfer approvals
should be out around June 20.
Y.O.U./S.E.P. Update
The S.E.P. camp is now completely filled for all three sessions. The
responses of the young people this year have been overwhelming. We
estimate that we have received almost 1800 applic,
ations. We have room
for only 900 for the summer.
****IMPORTANT****
PLEASE ANNOUNCE TO YOUR
CONGREGATIONS
If you have been accepted to S.E.P. and
find you cannot go, please notify the
Y.O.U. office as soon as possible so
that other young people may be given the
opportunity. Call us collect, if nec
essary, at (213) 577 - 5720.
Questions have arisen concerning the health certificates sent to those
campers accepted, especially concerning irmnunization. We are not asking
or suggesting that the campers
be
immunized. Minnesota state law re
quires that we send out the health certificates with the immunization
records and requires that we have
a
certificate on file for each camper.
