Comments From Monthly Church Reports
From the United States
NORTON, VA--GEORGE ELKINS: Mr. Armstrong's taped sermon on proph­
ecy was certainly sobering as well as inspiring!
It will help
the brethren come to grips with the truly important things in
their lives instead of focusing in on the petty and insignifi­
cant.
ROCHESTER, NY--LESLIE SCHMEDES: A strong awareness that we live
in the end time is beginning to hit home. There is a sober atti­
tude among the brethren, fostered by Mr. Armstrong's powerful
telecasts. The brethren are pleased to learn of the impact the
Church is having worldwide. We are looking forward to hearing
more messages on prophecy from God's Apostle.
SALT LAKE CITY, UT--DON LAWSON: We have received many new PM let­
ters. We also have a number of people who had left the Church
years ago and now want to come back. There are three attending
and three more who want to return.
CORNING, NY--BRITTON TAYLOR: This area is seeing steady PM
growth, which is very encouraging after so many years of slow
growth.
The economy is definitely improving. All members are
employed despite the economically depressed areas in which they
live.
FORT WORTH (PM), TX--BOB SMITH: We have been pleased with the ma­
turing of many second generation Church youth, many of whom con­
tinue faithful in church attendance, and some of whom are active­
ly seeking baptism. Other PMs continue to be strong, and are
heeding Mr. Armstrong's admonition to "prove all things" (I Thes.
5:21).
