PASTOR'S REPOR�
PUBLISHED BY THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
VOL. 2, NO. 42
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NOVEMBER 15. 1978
Greetings again fellow ministers:
Since this is turning out to be a very busy week, I only have time
to jot down a few items of importance that need to be communicated to
all of you in this Pastor's Report.
First of all, I am very pleased to be able to announce that plans
are being made to hold a full Ministerial Conference here in Pasadena
in mid-January. In the U.S., all Area Coordinators, Senior Pastors and
full Pastors of churches, along with their wives, will be invited to
attend this year.
In international areas, budgetary restrictions will have to be
considered and worked out with the Regional Directors. We hope that
as many as possible in the International Work will be able to come in
as well.
I realize that there may be several men whose particular situation
might be somewhat unclear -- we do have so� Associate Pastors who ar�
functioning in many respects as full Pastor�r7-- and tfie feasibility
or-mel'I. in that cat::egory attending the conference would best be discussed
with your immediate superior and the Area Coordinator or Regional
Director.
This year's conference will begin the 15th of January and continue
through the 18th inclusively. Mr. Armstrong is very much looking for­
ward to speaking to the majority of our ministers during the meetings
and we are all looking forward to a very profitable conference. Will
keep you posted on the details as time goes on.
One more item I want to mention in this report concerns the ordina­
tion notices that need to be sent in to Pasadena if elders were ordained
in your area during the recent Feast season. Ordinations certainly
constitute news of a very positive nature and we want to be able to
announce all such ordinations to the brethren as soon as possible. We
would appreciate your sending in the appropriate notices as quickly as
you can.
Thanks for everything that each of you is doing in your loyal
service to God, His Work and Church. Please continue to pray for God's
blessings, as this Work of God goes forth in announcing and dissemina­
ting this exciting message of good news and hope for all mankind.
With love in Jesus' Name,
c.
