Mrs. Armstrong and I will have to go directly to New York
from the Tabernacle in Texas, and then go over to England to be
with the new college there. In this way, we can be with the
brethren of God's Church in the two biggest congregations during
the Days of Unleavened Bread.
And now, here are the detailed plans for all of our local
Church areas:
PASADENA (and all Churches in the local area--San Diego, Redlands,
Temple City, Sherman Oaks, Long Beach, Los Angeles and
the south Fresno area.)
PASSOVER: Services will be held at the Shakespeare Club beginning
promptly at 7:30 P.M. Thursday evening, March 30th. Since all the
Churches in the local area will be attending, it will be crowded.
However, if everyone will be patient and follow the directions of
the Deacons and their assistants, we should have no difficulty.
Remember, God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33) and His
Spirit in us should guide us in being orderly in everything.
Towels and pans will be available for all. No one need bring them
to the Passover Service in Pasadena.
FRIDAY March 31: There will be morning services only in the Civic
Auditorium on Friday--to permit ample time to prepare food for the
Feast and the noon meal on the following double Sabbath. Although
Friday is not a Holy Day, nor one of the Days of Unleavened Bread,
many who have come for the Passover the previous evening will be
able to attend this service.
FRIDAY EVENING FEAST: This is the "Night to be much remembered."
The Feast will also be held at Ambassador College Campus with about
a five minute introduction and prayer for the meal at the Tempietto
in the lower garden. Be sure to dress warmly or bring sufficient
wraps so that the coolness of the evening will not cause anyone to
take cold.
SABBATH AND SUNDAY: Morning and afternoon services will be held at
the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Between the services a potluck
lunch will be served at the Ambassador College Campus on the tennis
courts. Tables and chairs will be available for most of the people
on the tennis courts and in the lower gardens. There are also many
other places to sit and eat around the campus.
FRIDAY April 7: This is the last Feast Day or Sabbath of the Days
of Unleavened Bread. Services will be held in the local Churches.
Unless otherwise announced, Pasadena will meet at the Shakespeare
Club. Long Beach and Los Angeles Churches will meet in Gardena for
all day meetings and noon Feasts both Friday and Sabbath.
FOOD: It is suggested that every family bring covered dishes of
food for all the Feasts, unless that is not possible because of
distance. Those who come too far to bring prepared foods, items of
fruit or other staples or beverages may be purchased in advance.
Local people in the Los Angeles area are encouraged to bring extra
