August 1, 1984 � Vol. 89, No. 15 A TALE OF TWO LETTERS J. LYNN MARTELL Ministerial Director Columbia Union Conference Mary Jones of Fulton over in Perth, England, was attracted to John Henson who lived about 15 miles away. She had met him at a party and felt there was something very special about him. When she arrived home there was a letter from him. She trembled as she wrote a response. She tried to indicate "between the lines" that letters from him would be acceptable. Mary sent hopes in that postcard in 1910, and although it is a known fact that the British Postal System is one of the finest in the world, it wasn't delivered until 1969. Poor John never received it because he died in 1919. Mary died in 1945. Neither one knew the other was anxiously awaiting a reply. Neither one knew how the other felt. Both waited. The undelivered message of love. Joan was tense and frustrated. She and her brother had experienced many difficult times together. Harsh and cutting words. No apologies. No forgiveness. Joan knew that she had to make things right. After work she sat in the foyer of her office and wrote a letter to her brother, a letter seeking forgiveness and reconciliation. Forty-five minutes later she drove home with the assurance that the postman would pick up her letter the next morning and deliver it that afternoon. The telephone was ringing as she drove into the driveway. When she answered her sister-in- law related how Joan's brother had just died after suffering a massive heart attack. He never would read that letter. He never knew she had sent a message of love. It was too late. The saddest tears are those of regret for letters never written, words of love and appreciation left unspoken, phone calls never made, and gifts not given. There is something definite about today. Within you there is love that needs to be expressed and feelings shared. Don't wait. 2 � VISITOR, August 1, 1984 SIMON LIVERSIDGE What do you get when you put fifteen elementary students together for Bible studies with two inexperi- enced academy students? Surpris- ingly—success! When Victor Brown, campus pastor of Shenandoah Valley Academy asked David Babcock and myself to study with students of grades five through eight of New Market Adventist School, we felt unequal to the task. But with the help of Voice of Prophecy Bible lessons we decided to take the plunge. For six Tuesday mornings the students were dismissed from their regular Bible class so we could discuss the gospel and basic Ad- ventist beliefs with "our little flock." It was never easy but we felt we were making a contribution to their spiritual growth. During the two final studies Elder Brown sat in to give added help, if needed. The Holy Spirit blessed our efforts for two of the young people de- cided to be baptized. One, Deena Roberts, was a non-Seventh-day Simon Liversidge is beginning his senior year at Shenandoah Valley Academy in August. His home is in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his parents and younger brother and sister. Adventist. We, of course, were thrilled. This was the first time for either of us to study the Bible with anyone. How rewarding to see a positive response! "This was the first time for either of us. . . how rewarding to see a positive response!" Later, David and I accompanied Elder Brown to Deena's home to speak with her parents about her desire to be baptized. They did not object. On Sabbath afternoon, May 12, we were privileged to accompany Deena into the waters of a near-by quarry where she was baptized by Elder Brown. A week later Melissa Ingersoll was baptized in the New Market church by her grandfather, Elder Norman Dunn, a retired minister of Luray, Virginia. Opportunities to grow like this are what makes a Christian school like Shenandoah Valley Academy so worthwhile. Come grow with us at SVA. * Under the direction of Elder Brown students at Shenandoah Valley Academy have a number of unusual ways to serve their God. In the past students have held Bible studies as David and Simon did this past school year. Others have conducted Weeks-of-Prayer in near-by church schools. During this coming school year David and Simon have been asked to serve as student pastors to develop their witnessing and public speaking abilities.

If Jesus came to visit me today I would like him to play with me all day. I want to meet the angels, David, Peter, and John too. I would like to play with the horses with Jesus. I would like to pick up shells with Jesus, to go on a trip with Jesus, God, the angels, and the Holy Spirit. I would like to walk with Him, talk with Him, read to Him, have lunch with Him, pray with Him, and give Him my heart.

DPC-1Y ALE. 0 grade 10 Dupont Park School a joy when the creative ability is sparked and nurtured by teachers � • who are inspired and knowledge- able of the creative genius within the child. Art has always been a part of life. It is a way of expressing feelings and ideas. Children communicate through their drawings and crea- tions by putting into their work their own ideas and feelings. The students in Seventh-day Adventist schools are provided with oppor- tunities of creative expression through many types of art media. Art is more than "seeing." It is creating and enjoying through the five senses or avenues to the soul— sight, touch, smell, hearing and tasting. Music is another creative art which can communicate a dom- inant idea. It has always had a cen- tral place in the lives of children and adults alike. Music for Life is a new music curriculum for Seventh- day Adventist schools. This has been written by teachers and music educators of the Columbia Union Conference. New to our schools this fall, the focal point of this music curriculum is the child and his rela- tionship to God. The student will study and develop an understand- ing of sacred and secular music that is in harmony with the scriptural teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist church. The teacher's own warm, human relationship of love and trust will help provide the foundation for growth in music. Creativity in the arts involves utilizing God-given intuition and emotional resources as well as the conscious, rational process of thought. * The human body is beautiful in many, many ways Especially when Ws Ong through its wonderful phase.

DOLLY ALVAREZ, age 11 Lakewood Adventist School Next came quality of education. During parent-teacher conferences, we saw some achievement test scores showing that SDA education consistently outranks the others. r ,,,A7 1, � And we're impressed by the "Why Spend $1,000 to Send My Child to an Adventist Elementary School ?" That's the question I had to answer this summer. There's a beautiful public school just down the street. And tuition is free. On the basis of location and Some Very Special Teachers cost, my choice would be easy. But there are some things about our local Adventist school that my wife and I also considered. On-the-Job Training First, the teachers. Sure, they're all fully certified pro- fessionals. But, more impor- tant, each is dedicated to sharing Christ in what and how they teach. And not just during Bible class and worship, but in all classes, including handwriting and physical education. From my visits to Kami's classroom, I know that her teacher also reveals Jesus by the way he talks and lives. completeness of today's Adventist education. From first grade right through college, our schools are preparing young people for tomorrow's world. Just look at an SDA academy bulletin sometime: computer pro- gramming, welding, microwave cooking, ceramics, nursing science, band, choir, word process- ing . . . the list goes on and on. And Kami's looking for- ward to taking everything! We found more good news. Next school year, Kami's going to have the opportunity to work in our new school-owned bakery. Which whittles down that $1000 figure. But I'm just as excited about the valuable experience she'll be gaining. She's already planning to be a "millworker" at Harris Pine when she goes to academy, just like her cousin Wesley. "Don't decide too soon," tell her. She may still opt for becoming a "farm gal" or a nurse's aide, earning tuition and valuable work experience at the same time. Of course, with the way our schools are coming up with new creative and profitable work-study options, who knows what Kami might get into by then? Head, Hand, and Heart Education 6 � VISITOR, August 1, 1984 Learning to Share Christianity r; More Than Dollars One major difference between our SDA school and the public school is that our school doesn't shut down on weekends! Outreach activity is a way of life. And Kami loves every minute. Branch Sabbath School. The witnessing tumbling team. Temperance Club. Adopt-a-Grandparent. Right now she's out with the Service Action Team, washing windows and scrubbing floors at a shut- in's home. I'm not sure where she learned to do windows like that. I've shared with you some of the main reasons why we chose an Adventist school for Kami. Still, one thou- sand is a pretty big number. On the other hand, there are some other numbers to consider. For example, the large number of young peo- ple who are baptized and continue to be active in the church if they've had the advantage of a Seventh-day Adventist education. In the end, that was what made our decision for us. We couldn't put a price on our daughter's Christian experience. So we consider the cost our most valuable investment. That's also why Kami's grandma and grandpa con- tinue to support Adventist education financially through their local church's school subsidy program. They know that Christian education is a responsibility for the entire church family. I know my wife and I will still be supporting Adventist education long after Kami and her two-year-old sister Karli have graduated. One Final Number With all the numbers we've talked about, there's one more we considered: 4,517. That's baptisms of Adventist students in a single school year. And that number means a lot more to a dad when his own daughter comes to him and says, "Pastor Clark's going to have baptismal classes after school on Tuesdays. Can I go?" We couldn't think of another school that offered a class better than that! VISITOR, August 1, 1984 7 Christian EDUCAVON iiMINENIMPROMMINNEL An Adventist Essential Chesapeake Frederick church installs pipe organ Sabbath, June 9, marked the inaugura- tion of a new pipe organ in the Frederick church (lower right). Ron Ellis (top right), vice-president of the Moller Organ Company of Hagers- town, presented the organ to the congre- gation and demonstrated the versatility in the variety of sounds of the instrument for worship use and in the various periods of music literature. The new organ, an instrument intricate in design and a marvel of craftsmanship, was designed especially for the Frederick sanctuary. It conforms to the architectural and acoustical requirements of the building. The three manual, English-draw- knob console controls 20 ranks, con- sisting of 1,155 pipes ranging in size from the large 16 foot pedal pipes to others as small as five-eighths of an inch. Many are contained within an expression chamber behind the expanse of exposed pipework. Included also is a set of cathedral chimes. On August 11, an organ consecration service will be conducted at the eleven o'clock worship hour. W. 0. Coe, pres- ident of the Columbia Union Conference, will be the featured speaker. At seven o'clock a vesper program will be presented featuring Dale Connor at the pipe organ. Guests are cordially invited to attend both of these services. Frederick school graduates nine As part of the Frederick eighth grade graduation ceremonies on June 7, Brian Horman (top, far left) presents a bouton- niere to his father and a corsage to his mother, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Norman. Joseph Bartlett (top, near left) receives his diploma from Dr. C. A. Oliphant, chair- man of the school board. Jennifer Logan (bottom, far left) accepts the Student of the Year Award from J. Pat Larson, prin- cipal, and Douglas Collins (bottom, near left) was honored as valedictorian. Diana Mauller, eighth grade teacher, and Larson made the presentation. Lynn Martell, ministerial secretary of the Columbia Union Conference, challenged the class to uphold their mot- to, "Not at the Top, but Climbing" and aim, "Forward Ever, Backward Never." Diplomas were presented by Oliphant and Larson to Joseph Bartlett, John Beard, Douglas Collins, Laura Danner, Molly Fox, James Goodman, Brian Horman, Jennifer Logan, Patricia Madden, Stacie Orser, and Floyd Truitt. A reception after graduation had music provided by the school band and choir. Charles Disney, associate pastor, ad- dressed the graduates during the bacca- laureate service on Sabbath morning. Robert Skeggs, Correspondent 8 � VISITOR, August 1, 1984 The Weirton, West Virginia, church was dedicated on Sabbath, May 19. After 50 years Weirton dedicates their own church Present and past members of the Weirton church gathered on May 19 to dedicate their new sanctuary. The Sabbath celebration was the capstone of a dream which started nearly 50 years ago in the late 1920s with the forma- tion of a company which met in members' homes. Over the years the small congregation met in several public halls in- cluding the Weirton 1.0.0.F. Building. This was the last meeting place for the church before their new church home. The purchase of a small parcel of land east of Weirton in the early 70s paved the way for the building of a new church. The church was erected in the late 70s, and the liquidation of the debt in early May of 1984 provided a reason for the dedication service. The celebration was a high- light experience for members shared with community well- wishers, former members who had moved to other parts of the country, and County Com- missioner Fred DiAngelis and his wife. The service featured an in- spiring morning message from the conference president, Wayne Coulter, followed by an afternoon challenge at the service of dedication by Col- umbia Union president, Wally Coe. Other notable features of Allyson Huber (center) and President Wayne Coulter present a corsage in tribute to Carmen Melvin, a charter member of the Weirton church. this service included the tradi- tional burning of the mortgage, and a salute to Carmen Melvin, a surviving charter member. The Weirton church family includes a group of actively in- volved laymen. They have par- ticipated in organized service projects to their community, and have made notable efforts to involve community individ- uals in local programs in their church. They conduct a Bible Reading Marathon during Easter Week. They have done this for the past two years. Several individuals from the community have participated in this effort. The Weirton church is the second church in a two-church district and has been for years. The members have learned to do many things on their own initiative rather than depend- ing solely upon their pastor. The result has been an active and growing church. The mix of an old guard, members who have served the church for many years; new blood, younger members who have moved to the Weirton area; and new members, those who have become Seventh-day Ad- ventists over the past few years, is producing a church of motivated laymen involved in sharing the message with their community. Homeless flood victims assisted by CS volunteers Heavy rainfall on May 6 caused a major flood in down- town Williamson, West Vir- ginia, forcing many people from their homes and causing considerable damage to the business district. In an effort to provide assis- tance to those forced from their homes the Mountain View Conference Community Services van was pressed into service. Director Herbert Morgan with the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Rogers, leaders in the Charleston church, arrived in the Williamson area with the van to assist a day later. Be- cause the main highway to Williamson was flooded, the van was one of the first Lay rally inspires conference members in the north On April 29, lay people from the northern area of the New Jersey Conference united with the Newark English church for a rally. Mrs. M. T. Bascom shared experiences from the mission field. She and Elder Bascom were in the Far Eastern Divi- sion. Robert Boggess, con- ference president, taught a very effective Sabbath school lesson, "Knowing God through Nature." M. T. Bas- com, associate director of Lay Activities from the General Conference, delivered an in- spirational sermon and in the afternoon challenged every- one by showing a newly released film Seedtime and emergency service vehicles to arrive. Very cold nights caused a high demand for dry clothing and blankets. Members of the disaster relief team distributed 300 woolen blankets, 500 towels, and 60 emergency comfort kits to assist flood vic- tims until a more permanent system of assistance could be provided. Other individuals who assisted included local pastor Joe McCoy, Margie Stowers, and Beckley pastor, Herb In- gersoll, and his wife who were marooned in the area by the floods while traveling. HERBERT MORGAN Community Services Director Williamson flood victims line up to receive blankets, towels, and emer- gency comfort kits from the con- ference Community Services van. Harvest. After showing Seed- time and Harvest, everyone joined one of many discussion groups, then shared with the reassembled group some as- pects of the film and how to make it relevant in today's society. Special music in the after- noon was provided by the Bar- tholomes and the New Jersey Korean church choir. The Pfeifers from the Wayne church shared their experi- ences helping victims of the re- cent flood disaster in Wayne, and the good will it created in the community for the Sev- enth-day Adventist church. Geraldine Molloy from the Jersey City Heights church gave a personal testimony, "The Lord will use us if we are willing to be used by the Lord." Mountain View Mark Walker, Correspondent New Jersey Robert Boggess, Correspondent VISITOR, August 1, 1984 � 9 Anniversary services were held to celebrate the 25th year of the Lake Nelson Adventist School in Piscataway, New Jersey. Ohio Gerry Fisher, Correspondent Alex Besenyei and his Action Team from the Perth Amboy Hungarian church told of their involvement. They introduced a young man found in door-to- door witnessing, who now receives Bible studies from them and soon will be baptized. The meeting closed with a message by Ed Reeser, a lay preacher from Pennsylvania. "The ministers and lay mem- bers have to close ranks and work together in the winning of souls, so that the gospel will be preached everywhere and Jesus soon will come." CHRISTOF W. KOBER Director of Personal Ministries Lake Nelson school celebrates 25th anniversary Sabbath, May 12, was a beautiful spring day. After a year of planning, writing let- ters, writing announcements, and making phone calls the big day had finally arrived for the 25th anniversary celebration of Lake Nelson School. Sabbath school and church service were conducted in the Students conduct services for Piqua's Education Sabbath Shafts of light from the colored windows danced across the sign, "Christian Education Speaks for Itself!", hanging in front of the Piqua church sanctuary. The congre- gation, silent with anticipation, waited for the Education Day church service planned and new Lake Nelson church. Several former students took part in the services. Floyd Strunk was the speaker for the eleven o'clock service. Twenty-five years ago, Elder Strunk was pastor of the church and a very active worker in construction of the school. A potluck lunch was served in the school gym preceding the afternoon program. During the program lovely musical selections were rendered by former students. They were interspersed with readings, re- cited by Catherine Ashbaugh, a former teacher. Mayor Bob Smith of Pis- cataway was present, and warmly greeted more than 300 in attendance. Refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon pro- gram. Everyone had an oppor- tunity to visit and renew old friendships. One visitor remarked, "It was a little taste of what heaven will be like when we have that grand and glorious reunion, never more to part." PATRICIA KOVALSKI Teacher presented by elementary students. The students had studied temperance, the preparing of their bodies to become temples in which the Holy Spirit can dwell, and chose Education Day to share their findings with the congregation. Dr. Chris Chung, school board chairman, gave the call to wcrship found in Romans 12 and Peter Fairs, student, gave the invocation and called for the offering. Audrey Ostendorf, Michael Stahl, and John Minkner re- cited the Temperance Pledge and temperance memory work, followed by Melissa Elgin defining temperance. Cathy Simpson revealed the tragedy of 18,250 children killed in alcohol-related accidents in 1983, and 13% of United States children addicted to drugs by age 12. Stephanie Senier discussed the tremendous effect peer pressure has on our youth in making a decision regarding Cathy Simpson � Edward Chung drug use. Chad Minkner quoted E. G. White regarding the slow, insidious poison, tobacco. She states the tobacco habit is harder to break than alcohol addiction. Eddie Chung's emphasis was on the need for appetite but that lust-to-eat results in over- indulgence which eventually leads to disease. Gloria Chung made the point that "not eating nutritious food is almost like not eating at all," as she presented the aspects of a balanced diet. Kevin Reiner encouraged exercise on a regular daily basis in order to strengthen the heart, resulting in a more abundant life. Lisa Senier cited two examples where stress resulted in a heart attack and a stroke. The audience received a score sheet to help evaluate their stress level. Duane Washabaugh closed with the equation: better physical health + better mental health = better com- munication with God. He admonished that we not dwell on our weaknesses but on God's power to help us better our lives. Principal Shirleen Brown pointed out, "These youth could attend public school where their tuition would be free. They would have better and more equipment avail- able, and they would have only one grade per teacher. But, would the teachers direct the childrens' spiritual destiny?"

COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT Kettering Medical Center Doctor visits library for Bible truth Juan Carlos Martinez of Greensburg had a deep long- ing to know the truth for these times. He was raised a Catholic, became a Morman when 14-years-old, but could see many things not consistent with the Bible. Born in Argentina, he came to the United States where he finished his medical training. His practice took him to the Greensburg area. Dr. Martinez went to the public library to find books that would help him under- stand the Bible. He checked out Daniel and the Revelation and The Great Controversy. When he finished reading those books he called the church for more information. That evening Pastor Darrow Foster arranged Bible studies and the next Sabbath Martinez was in church. Darrow Foster (left) baptized Juan Carlos Martinez after his long search for Bible truth. He said as he read those books "for the first time the Bible made sense." On Sabbath, June 2, he was baptized and joined the Sev- enth-day Adventist church.

CHRIS FAIRCHILD Communication Secretary Potomac Resident mothers being sought for SVA girls Lyle Botimer, principal of Shenandoah Valley Academy, recently announced a new ar- rangement for the girls' dor- mitory during the coming school year. Instead of the traditional plan of a dean of girls and her assistant, "resi- dent mothers" for each dorm floor will assist the dean. They will be mature, single ladies who will be there to "mother" the girls in their care. This additional staff will make dorm living a more meaningful and enjoyable ex- perience for girls while they are away from their parental homes. Any ladies interested in this highly rewarding (low paying) experience are invited to contact the principal. There will also be a dorm room available where mothers of dorm girls may stay up to a week, free of charge, while visiting their daughters at the academy. It is anticipated that Rudy Dolinsky, Correspondent many mothers will accept this invitation and will reserve a time when they can come. Reservations can be made by calling the dean of. girls, Dorothy Potterton. For more information write or call Shenandoah Valley Academy, Route 1, Box 29, New Market, Virginia 22844. Telephone: (703) 740-3161. Potterton and McConnell join academy staff Richard McConnell has joined Shenandoah Valley Academy staff as food service director. Dorothy Potterton has taken the position of girls' dean. McConnell comes to SVA from Lincoln, Nebraska, where he worked for Christian Rec- ord Braille Foundation. Previous to this he had exten- sive experience in food management and preparation. In 20 years of Navy service, he completed military courses in 11 More than 250 Pathfinders and their leaders posed for their picture (Left to right) Pastor Marvin Brown, Euliss Bailey, Elaine Bynum, and C.

Dorothy Potterton Dick McConnell cooking, baking, food prep- aration, and sanitation. He had administrative responsibilities in ordering, pricing, menus, and bookkeeping, as well as practical experience as a cook and baker. After leaving military service, McConnell worked for Hos- pital Dietary Services, Inc. He was food service director for a 185 bed hospital in North Dakota and was promoted to the home office in Detroit, Michigan, to serve as the com- pany's director of purchasing. This involved overseeing of their 52 food service units. Because of religious conflict, McConnell left Hospital Ser- vices and went to work for the Ontario Conference as food service manager of Ferndale Resort (formerly Keswick Ad- ventist Camps). While working for the Ontario Conference, he gained experience in prepara- tion of vegetarian foods and working with teenagers. McConnell's goal at SVA is Rockets are launched at largest Camporee The theme for the Allegheny West Camporee, held May 4-6, at Slate Run Metro Park in Columbus, Ohio, was "Model Rocketry" with emphasis on the Second Coming of Christ. In attendance were 257 Path- finders from the following clubs: Cincinnatti Falcons; Co- lumbus Ephesus; Dayton Eagles; Springfield Dober- mans; Lima Cougars; Dayton Hillcrest; Cleveland Bethel Eagles; Glenville; Cleveland Heights; and the Cleveland Southeast Chiricahua Apaches. When the total attendance was known, joy and satisfac- tion were felt by those respon- to use his experience to im- prove the quality and efficien- cy of the school cafeteria "through production control, price control, personnel orga- nization and training, buying techniques, inventory control, and menu planning." McConnell has moved to New Market with his wife, Evelyn, and son, Patrick. He also has two older sons: Chris, 23 and Mike, 22, and an older daughter, Bonnie, 20. Mrs. Potterton, new girls' dean, has had experience as a dean from 1973 to 1979, work- ing at Weimar College, Milo Adventist Academy, and most recently Blue Mountain Academy. She and her husband, Ernie, come to SVA from Visalia, California, where they man- aged a 100-apartment retire- ment inn. The Pottertons have four children, ages 23 to 31. Realizing the need for more one-to-one contact with adults for the girls in the dorm, Pot- terton has instituted a program in the dorm utilizing dorm mothers in place of some of the resident assistants. Accord- ing to Potterton, her primary goal in the dormitory is to pro- vide an environment condu- cive to spiritual and social maturity. BRUCE YINGLING Teacher sible for the planning and coordination of the camporee: Elaine Bynum and James Hill, area coordinators; Euliss Bailey, general coordinator; and C. Richard Rogers, youth director. Grace Walton, Dayton Eagles director, received her club's first place trophy from area coordinator, James Hill. The Friday evening vespers by Joel Johnson, pastor as well as director of Lima and Spring- field Pathfinder clubs, got things off to a good start as he made clear the doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ and the fact that it is one of the main foundation stones of our church. The Sabbath worship hour speaker, Marvin Brown, pastor of the Huntington, West Vir- ginia church, used the 14 rules of model rocketry to make his sermon come alive. "For ex- ample, rule number one," he said, "deals with rocket con- struction and stresses the im- portance of using proper material to have a successful launching. So the Christian is cautioned against using foods and other things that would hinder him from being ready to mount up with wings as the eagle when God's people are caught up to meet Him in the air. To assure a successful launching of a transformed body the Pathfinder must follow the rules of health as set forth by God." Leaders wished that the other 200 plus Pathfinders of Allegheny West could have been present at the camporee, and especially, at the 4:00 p.m. Youth Speaks hour Sab- bath afternoon to hear and see the presentations given by each club. They took the for- mat of To Tell the Truth, ser- monettes delivered by Path- finders, as well as dramatiza- tions—all on the Second Com- ing of Christ. Inspection time was exciting as the clubs stood tall in uni- form. Several of the clubs had displays depicting the Second Coming. The Dayton Eagles received the most points, 49 out of a possible 50. After a big downpour every- one gathered Sunday morning for the launching of rockets.

Not to be outdone, Rogers successful- ly launched a rocket built by Bynum which landed almost perfectly within 4 feet of the launching pad. Each club launched at least one rocket. Pastor Joel Johnson, Alicia Johnson, and Tosca O'Rourke completed their model rocketry honor while there. Noticeably missing were two outstanding Pathfinder leaders. Pat Martin, director of the Shiloh Falcons, though she recently had surgery, did stop in to see how things were go- ing; and Zelda Bailey, wife and Six are baptized out-of-doors in "at home" service Have you ever imagined what it was like in days of old when baptisms in rivers and lakes were common? Well, the members of the Mount Calvary church in Williamsburg, Vir- ginia, had a glimpse of that on Sabbath, June 2. There was an outdoor baptism in their recently acquired portable pool. It was their first "at home" able assistant of Euliss Bailey, general Pathfinder coor- dinator, broke her ankle a few days before the camporee. Zelda had not missed a cam- poree since 1970. A large get- well card was prepared by Carla Rogers, signed by over 250 Pathfinders present, laminated, and presented to her later in the week. The camporee was a step- ping stone to our Union Cam- poree in Pennsylvania on Oc- tober 4-7 which will prepare for the North American Cam- poree in Colorado ELAINE BYNUM Southern Ohio Area Pathfinder Coordinator baptism. They have had to use facilities owned by others. M. C. Van Putten, con- ference president, was guest speaker.

Dinner was served for the candidates, family, and visitors. W. C. Scales Sr. is pastor of this congregation. KAREN CHAPPELL BROWN Communication Secretary Church musicians and pastors to join in workshop The first union-wide work- shop to give practical help for improving church services through more worshipful music will be held at the New Market, Virginia, church September 28-30. The program is being spon- sored by the Columbia Union Church Growth Center and the SDA Church Musicians Guild. Bill Liversidge, director of the Columbia Union Church Growth Center, says the aim of the sponsors is to help church services provide "greater spiritual appeal for the local congregation and to reach out to the community." The workshop is designed to help pastors and church mu- sicians better understand each other's needs and aspirations. Since the program will be based on a team concept, both pastor and church musician must attend. Interaction between speak- ers and participants will be a part of the program. By sharing of ideas, by actual participa- tion, and by experimentation those attending should return to their home churches with concrete ideas for improving their worship services. The weekend meetings will begin Friday evening with a presentation by Elder Liver- sidge. It will deal with the rela- tionship between the pastor and the church musician. Sabbath morning will feature a creative worship service by Terry Pooler and Jerry Taylor. Elder Pooler pastors the New Market church while Taylor serves as music instructor at Shenandoah Valley Academy. These two men will also share ideas in the afternoon followed by Dr. Merle Whitney, asso- ciate pastor of the Sligo church. Working with par- ticipants he will help to create a spiritual and rewarding church service. Sunday's schedule calls for a presentation dealing with "The Church Service and Church Growth," and ending • with a session discussing the resource material supplied to each person in attendance. Also participating during the weekend workshop will be Elaine Meyers, President of the SDA Musicians Guild, and Sharon Klatt, a specialist in planning worship services. All persons with church music responsibilities are urged to plan now to attend the workshop. Columbia Union church leaders believe the weekend will provide valuable help for a more spiritual worship service and church growth. To obtain registration forms, interested pastors and church musicians should write to the Church Growth Center, Co- lumbia Union( Conference, 5427 Twin Knblls Road, Co- lumbia, MD 21045; or phone (301) 596-0800.

General News Allegheny East Robert Booker, Correspondent VISITOR, August 1, 1984 � 13 Autumn setting for Health Retreat '84 to be in Pennsylvania The biennial retreat for health professionals, sched- uled for the last weekend in October, promises to be a very rewarding experience. Sit- uated in the beautiful Laurel Highlands, just east of Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania, the set- ting will be attractive to the whole family. The retreat theme, "A Team Approach to Whole Person Care," should be of particular interest to physicians, dentists, and nurses who work in a clin- ical setting. Harvey Elder, M.D. and Wil- bur Alexander, Ph.D., of Loma Linda University, will be the featured speakers. In recent years they have developed a team approach to patient care. They have utilized their skills in training medical students to give consideration to the total needs and personal environ- ment of their patients. Each of the presentations by Drs. Elder and Alexander will be followed by small group discussions. This will provide opportunity for applying some of the ideas presented to par- ticular situations. To further enhance the effectiveness of the presentations, arrange- ments are being made for several case studies to be pre- sented by practitioners. Elder and Alexander will demon- strate how they would deal with these patients. A new dimension of this year's retreat is the provision being made by the Columbia Union Youth Ministries for children and youth. Through- out the weekend there will be planned activities, programs, and recreation for various age groups. Parents can fully enjoy their meetings with the assur- ance that their children are be- ing cared for by a competent staff. The retreat is co-sponsored by the Columbia Union Con- ference and the Adventist Health System/Eastern and Middle America. The site has been carefully selected by the steering committee. The Greensburg Sheraton Inn is a relatively new facility. The rates are very reasonable and the setting is both beautiful and easily accessible. There are a variety of on-site recrea- tional activities including in- door swimming, racquetball, and a nine-hole golf course. Mark October 26-28 on your calendar.
