THANK YOU, in advance, for continuing to help
in
this great and
growing work! With another book deadline in less than 3 weeks, and
live, half-hour daily radio once again before me {though I have done
it for 22 years now), I'll be busier than ever---thanks for all your
help!
With much love, in Jesus name,

PLANS FOR MINISTERIAL RETREATS We're beginning to firm up plans for
m1n1ster1al retreats for the coming summer. Allie and I plan to
leave Pasadena during the Days of Unleavened Bread, arriving in
Albuquerque for the last Day of Unleavened Bread and continuing to
Big Sandy on April 30 where the first retreat will begin Monday
morning, May 1 and will last for three days. We then hope to spend
the next Sabbath in Little Rock followed by a retreat at the
Buffalo River State Park in Arkansas beginning·Monday morning, May
8, and again lasting for three days. Planning is under way for
other retreats in California and Oregon in July (dates are yet to be
firmed up), and a retreat at SEP in Orr, Minnesota beginning Monday
morning, August 7.
There are still other retreats in the planning stages, but we'll
have to wait until we hear from the Area Coordinators on them. If
you have any ideas, suggestions, etc., please contact the Area
Coordinator inunediately.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you if you plan to attend one of these
scheduled retreats. From several points of view, it is very important
for us to know how many people are planning to attend. In addition
to the obvious problems of being sure we have the necessary facilities,
knowing how many people plan to be there is extremely important in
planning the number of people to bring from Headquarters and what
workshops to schedule.
There are certain ground rules common to these retreats. All
ordained men within a reasonable distance of each retreat are invited.
We have no particular objection to a man traveling clean across
country to a retreat he wishes to attend, but it may involve vacation
time for travel (call Ted Herlofson for clarification). Wives and
children are also invited, because we want the retreats to be a
family affair. No special provisions are made for the children, how
ever, so parents are completely responsible for the supervision and
entertainrnent,of their children. There will be plenty of time for
family recreation as well as for an educational exp�rience.
In
wish,
You can check with the coordinator for each retreat' about the
availability of places to pitch tents, hook up campers, etc.
some cases, there may be cabins or shelters available if you
although we have no budget for the rental of cabins, camping
camping equipment, etc.
