on the market for $165,000, but it
was later offered for $119,000.
Through negotiation and an
$8,500 donation by the seller, the
church was finally able to pur-
chase this building for $105,000.
Actually the congregation
moved into its church in October,
but during the interim repaired the
church completely on the outside
as well as partially inside. The city
also helped 1mprove the ap-
pearance by repaving both streets
and rebuilding the sidewalks—at
no expense to the congregation.
On the main floor the church
houses the sanctuary, a mothers’
room, pastor's office, cradle roll
room and a kitchen, while down-
stairs there are three large class-
rooms.

Francisco Peninsula Korean
Church translates Gordon Bul-
lock’s sermon.
The dedication of the Korean
members was demonstrated when
$63,000 was needed in pledges to
secure a Revolving Fund loan for
the purchase of this church. When
the covenants were totaled they
amounted to $120,700—necarly
double the amount actually
needed.
I-lder Daniel Chung, the pastor,
savs, “The Lord has really blessed
us!”
The new location is: 873 Delmas
Avenue, San Jose.

Would You Believe 9t7
Would you believe that the Conference brethren actually en-
courage the church member to use his own attorney in the writing
of a will, or some other type of an estate plan, should he hesitate
to take advantage of the free service which the
Conference Association offers?
It 1s true! We feel that it 1s so important that
the professed child of God make some provision
for the proper disposition of the Lord’s property
that he should use any and every means available
However, even though we may encourage in-
dividuals to see their own attorneys in this mat-
ter, we recognize that non-Adventist attorneys
have, on occasion, discouraged liberal bequests being made to
God’s Church. In the eyes of the non-Adventists the contem-
porary connotation of the term ‘‘peculiar’” is applied to the
church member because his liberality toward his church is just not
Should you use your own attorney in the drafting of a will,
and should you want to remember the Lord’s work, proper direc-
tion must be given so that your attorney will include the work of
God in the distributive provisions.
And please remember, should your attorney object in any way
to your instructions, the Conference Trust Services stands ready
to assist you in the fulfillment of your wishes.

Spanish Members Raise Funds for Church
San Jose Spanish church
members are working hard to
build a new sanctuary.
Among the most faithtul have
been Mr. and Mrs. Andres Carril-
lo who, although retired and hv-
ing on Social Security, donate to
the Building Fund month after
month. The funds they donate are
received trom odd jobs they are
able to do, such as gardening.

Spanish dinner with the help of his
wife, Dolores. After donating all
of his expenses, almost $1,000 was
realized for the Building Fund.
That same night a call for an of-
fering was made and many mem-
bers responded. Of these Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Castillo—he 1s elder
of the church and a local roofing
contractor—donated a check in
the amount of $10,400.
The previous church was sold
approximately three vears ago and
the old Alta Vista School property
purchased. A deficit of about
$25,000 was left which has been li-
quidated, as well as the architect's
tec of $58,000.
In December a new root was
put on the gymnasium, which
serves as the present meeting
place. A $14,000 roof was iIn-
stalled tor $5,000 because 20 men,
including seven roofers, donated
their labor.
Members are now hard at work
to raise the necessary funds to
build the sanctuary.

Wasatch Member Starts “Storytime”
Gloria Reynolds, story coor-
dinator for the Wasatch Hills
Church, is conducting an evange-
listic program for the children in
Salt Lake City.
She says, ‘I wanted to reach the
children. I felt that there should
be something special for the chil-
dren on Sabbath afternoons so I
decided to start ‘Storytime.’”’
With stories, puppets, films and
songs she has enchanted her audi-
ences, ages four to 40, every Sab-
bath afternoon with Biblical pres-
entations. ‘‘One Sabbath I had 12
children and six adults attending.
There have been four non-Ad-
ventist children involved, and one
of them has requested Bible
studies. That is exciting!”’ Mrs.
Reynolds continues.
Andy Trujillo has been assisting
her, along with Tammy and Matt
Seabury and Curt Clauss. This
trio frequently furnishes live
guitar music to enhance the pro-
gram.
Storytime began the first of the
winter quarter and has had any-
where from four to 20 participants
each week since. The children are
highly involved. They planned a
Christmas party utilizing ideas
from the Conference’s Christmas
Kit.

Thanksgiving Without the Turkey?
An early Thanksgiving vege-
tarian banquet was sponsored by
the Ogden Institute of Health on
November 20.
Nearly 60 individuals, including
16 non-church members, enjoyed
the buffet prepared by the ladies
of the Ogden Church. After the
delicious meal the children of
Deamude Adventist School pro-
vided entertainment in keeping
with the season.
One of the notable features of
the holiday banquet was the large
number of church members who

RINGS
assisted. Decorations were provid-
ed by the social committee, and
many church ladies were involved
in food preparation.
The vegetarian banquet marked
the beginning of the second year
of operation for the Ogden In-
stitute of Health evangelism pro-
gram, sponsored by the Ogden
Church. Also planned for 1981
are classes in vegetarian lifestyle,
smoking cessation, stress manage-
ment and exercise. A special cook-
ing school for the Spanish-
speaking community (with help
from Spanish-speaking friends) is
scheduled for March.
“We look forward to a good
year,’’ says Marcia Trott,
M.P.H., director of Ogden In-
stitute of Health. “We are build-
ing on last year’s experience to
determine the needs and interests
of our community.”’
