Dear Brethren in Christ:
GREETINGS IN JESUS' NAME! Here are the instructions you will
need and the information about the great Passover festival and Days
of Unleavened Bread.
The Passover this year is on Sunday night, the 25th of March,
just after sunset. The Passover is commanded to be kept on the
14th of Nisan, as you know, which falls on the 26th of March.
However, since God reckons days from sunset to sunset, that would
mean that the 14th of Nisan begins at sunset on Sunday the 25th of
March according to the Roman calendar. This is the most solemn
occasion of the year. Unless prevented by serious illness or
otherwise absolutely prevented, God COMMANDS our presence without
fail. It is obligatory! God will not accept excuses. The second
tithe God has told us to save is for this very purpose. Thus,
through His own financial plan God provides a way for us to attend
all of His annual festivals. This is God's vacation plan for us.
If prevented from attending one of the local churches for this
service or meeting with brethren in Gladewater, Texas for the
entire period, write immediately for directions for taking the
Passover in your own home!
Those living near Portland, Eugene, or Salem, Oregon or in the
Tacoma, Washington area, will meet with the brethren at those
points according to arrangements made by the local pastors. Of
course, those living near Pasadena and the southern California area
will meet here for the Passover and Holy Day meeting. Brethren in
the San Diego and Fresno Churches will meet at the Headquarters
Church in Pasadena, or at another location which will be announced
here if a suitable place can be obtained. The Passover service for
the brethren in the Corpus Christi and San Antonio, Texas area will
be held Sunday night, March 25th, in the Bee County public library
at 607 Adams St. in Beeville, Texas. The service will begin
promptly at 7:30 P.M. The Feast Day will be held in the public
library there also, with the feast beginning Monday night at 7:30
P.M. Then, also, for the Corpus Cristi-San Antonio area the Two
Holy Days, March 27 and April 2, will be observed at the Youth
Center at 806 E. Hayes St., Beeville, Texas--both of the Holy Days
will be all-day meetings beginning at 10:00 A.M. For the brethren
in the St. Louis and Chicago areas, Mr. Raymond McNair, the pastor
in charge over these churches, will make arrangements for both
congregations.
