Dallas. So be sure to tell your people about these upcoming campaigns
and ask them to E!.§!Y fervently for their success!
Finally, fellows, let's all be sure to sincerely examine ourselves
before this Passover season. Even we in the ministry need to get much
closer to God. We need to recognize, again, that we are all called to
be part°c)f the very Government of God on this earth in a few years. We
and our brethren are training tc,be kings and priests -- to give orders
and take orders in a right and positive spirit under a definite govern-
ment structure.
So we must learn to be loyal and supportive of God's
government through his Church NOW. We must learn to look beyond ourselves
-- beyond all men -- and recognize that the living Jesus Christ is the
overall director and orchestrator and leader of the major events, doctrines,
decisions and actions within the very Church which is His body. We need
to have renewed and deepened faith in his shed blood to blot out our
spiritual sins -- including even sins of attitude as well as
action.
Likewise, we need to have a deepened faith and realization that He really
is our Healer -- and that His broken body which we portray with the broken
bread at Passover time pictures the healing which God has made possible
for us today. Then we need to build an "atmosphere of faith" in each and
every local congregation of God's Church, worldwide,�egarding Christ as
our Savior, our Healer, our living, active Head and High Priest at God's
right hand.
Please pray for Mr. Herbert Armstrong and for all of us in leadership
positions in God's Work. We need his special love, wisdom, guidance and
strength. And pray for one another and all of God's people, especially
at this Passover season.
Our best wishes and sincere prayers will be with all of you.

Y.E.S. Hall Rental It has recently come to our attention that some clari
fication is needed concerning hall rental for Y.E.S. programs. No money
has been included in the 1979 budget for additional Sabbath hall rent for
Y.E.S. programs. The only money in the budget is for existing Sabbath
hall rent with a certain amount for expected increases in hall rental rates
due to inflation.
Those who may be planning Y.E.S. programs need to keep this constraint in
mind. Any additional hall rental incurred for Y.E.S. programs will have
to be paid for from local activity funds until money can be provided in
the Church Division Budget.
