Sabbatarian Singles Info
The free Sabbath singles pen-pal service formerly maintained by Janet McMillen has now been passed to Carol Smith. Janet is engaged to be married. Although Janet did not meet her husband-to-be from her singles service, at least one couple has met and married as a result of this service. About 200 people have participated in it so far. If you would like to participate, write to: Carol Smith, 3711 Corla Dr., Tampa, FL 33619
Another completely separate but more sophisticated service is provided by Mike Kawasaki. His service provides interest and backgound information (and a picture if you want), but allows you to remain anonymous unless you decide you want to respond to a person’s letter. A monthly subscription costs $10 per year ($12 for Canada and Mexico, $14 for other countries). There is also an option to be listed in the service for free. Send US funds payable to Mike Kawasaki, or write for more information to: Sabbath Singles Connection, 3229 Larkin Road, Biggs, California 95917.

Hulme has been to China, John Anderson has been put on the payroll and Marc Masterson will be employed to live in Salem, Oregon and be the Northwest area pastor (covers Oregon, Washington and a few B.C.) Most other congregations are receiving tapes of Hulme’s services. He plans a live audio feed for Pentecost services. &
