Harold Larson reported that John Wimber was contacted by phone, and he said that he had lost our letter to him, but he will send us a letter outlining the thrust of his program and the requirments of our church in his seminar. He has certain basic requirements such as at least one hundred people in attendance for a weekend session at a cost of $7-10 per person. Grace Yates asked who John Wimber is. John Wimber is a man from Yorba Linda Friends Church who is concerned with a revitalization of the church community, and Charlie Lamm and the Spiritual Life Board recommended him for help in our outreach efforts. Doubts were expressed over the value of what this man can offer. It was pointed out that he has been successful in several Oregon Friends churches.

Pearl Pearson has been trying to contact Glenda Newell about marking the Bibles in memorial to George Newell; however, she has not been able to contact her. It was approved that the Trustees be responsible for memorializing the Bibles if it is Glenda’s desire. Grace Yates recommends that we have a book to record the memorials in the church. It was approved that the statistician be responsible for recording of these memorials and researching what memorials are included in our church history.
