PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL.4, N0.9
AMBASSADOR COLLEGE UPDATE
(Pasadena Campus)
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
FEBRUARY 26, 1982
Mr. Herbert w. Armstrong has flown to Big Sandy today (Thursday, Feb.
25th), and plans to speak to the Big Sandy students and faculty tomorrow.
Then he intends to speak
to
the brethren in Atlanta on the Sabbath.
Plans are already being made for the soon-coming Feast of Unleavened Bread.
I haven't heard of most of the ministers' Feast plans yet, but I was inform
ed by Ministerial Services today that my wife and I will have the privilege
of spending the Passover and the first part of the Days of Unleavened Bread
with the brethren in Pittsburgh. Then, for the last day of the Feast we are
scheduled to be with God's people in Chillicothe and Portsmouth, Ohio.
We
certainly look forward very much to these opportunities to get to know more
of you ministers and your wives and to meet many of our brethren.
Recently, the College received another award from the Pasadena Beautiful
Foundation for the way our grounds (especially the area just east of the
Hall of Administration) are kept looking so beautiful. In fact, when the
recent award was presented to the College, a comment was made that the
College keeps this particular area of the campus looking like a perpetual
float--like one of the floats in the annual Rose Parade.
Just last Sunday we held our annual speech banquet and were able to invite
as guests the ministers and their wives who were here on the Ministerial
Refreshing Program.
This is one of the most interesting and enjoyable
annual College activities--with four outstanding student speakers giving
speeches, after which they are given awards. A dance followed the banquet.
This coming Sunday, 28th of February, the world-renowned pianist, Vladimir
Horowitz, is performing in the Ambassador Auditorium. We are honored to
have him perform at the Auditorium, as this is his only West Coast recital
this season. I hope he will also feel highly honored to be able to perform
in this beautiful building. We expect to have the performance piped into
the Fine Arts Building where it will be projected on a large screen for an
expected overflow crowd of
300
faculty members and students.
Everything is coming along very well with the College and with the many
other facets of this rapidly-growing Work of God headquartered here in
Pasadena. We are happy to be able to continually host you ministers and
your wives as you attend the MRP and become refreshed thereby. Our con
tinual prayer is that God will bless, guide and inspire all of you as you
serve Him to the utmost of your ability.
--Raymond F. McNair, Deputy Chancellor
