I received a telephone call today from Pastor Mike McFarland, Emmanuel,
Asheville, NC, requesting information about the Family Ministry. He indicated
that he understood that when the Synod dropped the newsletter, the Kansas
District picked it up. I told him that I was not aware of the publication and
that there we no copies given to me to include in the Archives. Possible the
call was forwarded to me by mistake, but that I would see what I could find out
about where, if any, the copies might be located. After his call, I talked to
Lori, at the District Office, and she said that there was some interest shown in
keeping the publication going but the Synod discouraged it. She said that she
would visit with Jim Bradshaw and let me know. Family Ministry was included
under the Education Umbrella.
I also call the Bethel Office to let them know that Pastor McFarland was
interested in the program.
