PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, FEBRUARY 14, 1986
Auditorium PM church to record the hymns sung each Sabbath.
By
keeping such a running record, we avoid overworking some songs and
never singing others.
This was so effective here at Headquarters that we are introducing its
use in all churches where the English version of the Hymnal is used.
The pastor should appoint someone, such as a songleader or deacon, to_
maintain the record.
We want each congregation to have a balanced
"diet" of hymns throughout the year. In addition, we would like each
congregation to be reasonably competent in singing most of the hymns
in the Hymnal.
TO BE ANNOUNCED IN ALL U.S. CHURCHES
YOU will sponsor two educational tours to Europe this
summer for qualifying YOU members. The first tour will be
a once-in-a-lifetime 10-day tour of the Soviet Union for
36 students, leaving June 23.
The second tour, called "Accent on Britain," will be a 15-
day tour of Britain, France and the Netherlands for 42
students, leaving July 3. The approximate cost for each
tour will be $1500.
The tours will be chaperoned by
Imperial Schools and Ambassador College faculty members.
A minister will accompany both tours.
Applicants must complete a written application obtained
from their pastor and return it to him so he can forward
it to the YOU office.
Note:
A select number will be able to attend S. E. P.
Scotland before they return home.
If any YOU members are interested, pastors should call the YOU office
in Pasadena for applications.
