PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 25, 1981
Example at Sporting Events (Continued from Page 2)
PAGE 4
Christians first and ball players second. We must also set a right example
in HOW we lose!
Your example can be a powerful teaching tool. As the children and brethren
witness your respect for authority and your right sportsmanship, they will
want to emulate your example.
So let's exhibit balanced enthusiasm and sportsmanship coupled with a
wholesome, serving attitude which makes any event--win or lose--an upbuild
ing and memorable occasion!
Low Income Energy Assistance Program
Recently we were made aware of the Low Income Energy Assistance Program
available to individuals in the United States. As its name suggests its
purpose is to help low income families cope with high energy bills, espe
cially those associated with winter heating costs. The program is feder
ally funded, but administered differently by each state. Therefore, we
can't give you the particulars on who is eligible and how to apply, but this
should be easily obtainable by a telephone call to your state's human ser
vices or welfare agency.
Please check to see if those who might be eligible (especially those who are
receiving regular third tithe help) are receiving this assistance. If they
aren't please help them to apply.
In California all S.S.!. and A.F.D.C. families are supposed to automa
tically be receiving this help; however, it would still be good to check to
see if they are being helped. Members in California seeking information
about and wishing to apply for, the low income energy assistance can call
toll free (800) 952-8311. The deadline for applying is in mid-January, so
prompt action is needed.
