Comments From Monthly Church Reports
PASADENA, CA (AUDITORIUM PM)--ROBIN WEBBER: Enthusiasm is high! Mr.
Armstrong's stay in Pasadena has lifted the spirits of the people,
along with the tremendous news of how God is blessing the Work
financially.
ROSEBURG, OR--GREG JOHNSON:
People were thoroughly inspired by the
spring Holy Days; especially by Mr. Armstrong's visit to Salem and his
powerful sermon film. We are also very encouraged to see the income
come up so dramatically in the U.S.
GLENDALE, CA--RONALD W. LAUGHLAND: Spiritual growth continues. Mr.
Armstrong's meaty broadcasts have produced fruits in the Glendale
area.
New PM's starting to come in. It's as if a floodgate has been
opened.
RESEDA, CA--ROBERT CLONINGER:
New PM's are up--many counseling for
baptism. The strong radio and TV broadcasts seem to be bringing a
better quality of PM.
AMARILLO, TX--JIM O'BRIEN: The people baptized within the last year,
and those wanting to be baptized now, have shown a remarkable depth of
conversion. They are not halfway in their commitment to the truth and
have inspired old-time members.
FT. WAYNE, IN--STEPHEN SMITH: There is a renewed interest in hearing
the radio and TV broadcasts. The members are encouraged by the power
and directness of these broadcasts. Many comments have been received
from the brethren and we've had more response in this area.
COLUMBIA, s.c.--JOHN RITENBAUGH: We had our best month for PM's in
over two years during May. The congregation's attitude is solidly
behind this Work with more positiveness and enthusiasm than I've seen
in a long time. Attendance is rising steadily, with a big jump this
month.
LOUISVILLE, KY--RAY A. MEYER:
Noticing an increase in PM interest.
We are having good success with the PT program, the waiting room
program, etc., and I think God is beginning to work with some new
people who responded to the PT program or media some months back.
Certainly appreciated Mr. Gerald Waterhouse's visit.
ST. LOUIS (SOUTH), MO--ROBERT L. SPENCE:
The brethren were REALLY
enthused by hearing and seeing Mr. Armstrong at the Lake of the
Ozarks. The get-together with all of the surrounding churches had the
flavor and happiness of a "mini" Feast of Taberna�les.
SAN FRANCISCO--STEVE MARTIN:
Holy Day season a real "upper" for
membership. Good response from Passover service and Holy Day sermons.
New visits and baptisms up remarkably. Baptized an inmate at San
Quentin, which was quite an experience.
