MEDIA SERVICES
Mr. Tkach has asked the Television Department to send out a video
cassette which will contain Mr. Armstrong's funeral service and Mr.
Tkach's sermon given in the Auditorium on January 18, 1986.
Mr. Tkach has instructed that this should be presented to the local
congregations for the Sabbath service on February 1.
If you do not have access to inexpensive video projection equipment, you
will then need to utilize a VCR tape player and several monitors or
television sets.
(We are not planning to ship our Feast V-STAR or
BARCOVISION projectors.)
Technical instructions for the setup of VCR
tape players and monitors are included with this week's

more than one copy, please contact Mrs. Linda Scobee at Television as
soon as possible.
We are planning to distribute the tapes Monday,

we will be contacting all Regional Directors for setting up tape
distribution in their areas. So, ministers outside the United States,
please contact your Regional Director with your tape requests.
These tapes may be retained in your local church library.
Thank you for your cooperation.

MAIL PROCESSING UPDATE
BIG SANDY WATS MOVE; SEMIANNUAL LETTER; RECORD MAIL RECEIVED;
CONTACT WITH WORK RENEWED
Big Sandy WATS Move Plans to transfer the Big Sandy WATS operation to
Pasadena are well under way. The 95 lines that are now being used will
be converted to in-home operator lines. The lines will be transferred
in stages--20 at a time. We expect to complete the entire move by the
end of May. In the meantime, student operators in Big Sandy will con
tinue to take a scaled-down number of calls and help with a variety of
other tasks. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parsons and a few other full-time Texas
WATS employees will then be moved to Pasadena to assist with the growing
in-home program.
This move will now open up new opportunities for local church members
around the nation to participate in the in-home program. We're pleased
to announce that training programs were recently completed in the Tampa
and St. Petersburg, FL, church areas, and are also planned for churches
in Dallas and Fort worth, TX. Nearly 300 members will serve from these
areas. We hope to continue expanding this program into many other U.S.
cities as the need arises.
