PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL.5, N0.15
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
REPORT FROM THE TREASURER'S OFFICE
April 13, 1983
APRIL 15, 19 83
I thought that I had already done a report for March, only to discover that
none had been written. Therefore, this is a little late for this month. It
seems like the months roll around so quickly that it's hard to keep up with
everything.
We ended the month of March with only a 9.7 percent increase year to date
over the same period for 1982. This is a little lower than we were doing
for a while, but still a little above budget. The month of March was only
6.2 percent more, which brought the overall average for the year down from
what it had been.
There was a 13.3 percent increase in the offering on the first holy day, and
a 4.1 percent increase in attendance over last year. The average per person
was $20.75, which was up considerably over last year's average of $19.07.
The second holy day, which actually occurred this month rather than in
March, showed a smaller increase of 8.9 percent, but the aveiage per person
was $21.74. No services were held in a few churches because of weather con
ditions, so possibly these preliminary call-in figures might be increased
somewhat.
We are still hoping for more substantial increases, but as yet they have not
materialized. We hope you will all continue your urgent prayers in this
regard.

FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Sacramento to Replace Squaw Valley Feast Site
As a result of the collapse of the roof of Blyth Arena (see April 1, 1983
PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT), Squaw Valley became unavailable to the Church as
a Feast site. Immediately we began to check out several possible alternate
sites and can now announce that Mr. Armstrong has approved Sacramento,
California as a replacement site.
We are currently in the final stages of negotiations with the city of Sacra
mento for the necessary meeting space and parking. The arrangements should
be completed very soon.
Those assigned to the former Squaw Valley Feast site will receive informa
tion on the new site, including housing, within two to three weeks. Since
we will be negotiating rates with the housing properties in the area, !!.2 �
should make reservations there before we send the information.
Further details will follow in the WORLDWIDE NEWS and the PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT as soon as they become available to the Festival Coordinating Team.
Everyone's continued prayers for the completion of these arrangements would
be appreciated.
