12 Original Theme Northern Union Song Needed for BIBLE QUIZ & TEMPERANCE Festivals of Faith Plans for the five Festivals of Program Faith scheduled for the spring of 1978 in North America are developing nicely as sectional planning committees work on witnessing activities, logistics and programming. We expect that there will be 10,000 young people actively engaged in witnessing activities during these festivals and that scores 1. of baptisms will result in the evangelistic efforts that follow each festival. Readers of this paper have seen the Festival of Faith logo which is being used as the theme for the festivals. No other theme is to be used, but we are desirous of having a special theme song written by 3. one of our young people. The theme song selected would be used nationally at all five festivals. We are inviting our young 4 people to submit an original 5. composition according to the following guidelines: 1. Song is to be written by a youth 6. under 35 years of age. 2. Theme song is to have a minimum of 8 bars and a maximum of 16. 3. Theme of words for song are to be on faith, importance of the word, power from God, and Holy Spirit for witnessing, dedication to a finished task or similar theme. 4. Song is to be arranged in four-pail harmony, not just melody line. 5.

15 ARC3IVES GENERA:, CONFERENCE OF 7TA AVE. NW 63'13 suuul "Evangelism and Finishing God's Work"

We have been talking evangelism, and doing evangelism, since the birth of the church. Our church was born in evangelism, and God's work will be finished through evangelism. Now, after all these many years, the last Annual Council gave us a great definition of evangelism: "Evangelism is the communicating of the essential elements of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the setting of the Three Angels' messages in such a way as to make possible a response in the hearts of the hearers to accept God's provision of salvation from sin, and His provision for victory over sin." This excellent definition is taken from the document, "Evangelism and Finishing God's Work", which was adopted and recommended to the world field during the 1976 Annual Council. In all of the activities of the church, we must be ever mindful of our Lord's great commission. We must never lose sight of the reason for our existence. Every department of the church must be geared to evangelism in order to help in finishing the work. What do we mean by "finishing the work"? It means both an inward and an outward work—a people saved by the grace of Christ and working to help others to be saved by that same wonderful grace of our Lord Jesus. We were further impressed by the following statement within the afore-mentioned document, "The conference president shall prayerfully and earnestly, with the executive committee, the conference lay-advisory council, through personal interviews with every worker, through workers' meetings and by using the local Church Evangelism councils, make certain that every action and plan of the conference is directed toward the primacy of evangelism and finishing the work. He is to set as the supreme goal of all phases of the work, the reaching of every person in the conference territory with the message." With this issue of the OUTLOOK we are giving emphasis to Community Services. Jesus said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40. The many workers in the great "Community Services" outreach of the church are surely following the example and command of Jesus. In our business with this great work of helping our neighbor in time of need and distress, we must remember our commission on finishing the work. In the document referred to previously, we are reminded that we must "make specific plans for the follow-up of names of all persons who have been contacted through the various departmental activities of the church." The Community Services department is doing a tremendous amount of good. Many families are being helped during time of need and distress. Surely there are many of our members who could help in this great work. Why not contact your community services leader in your church and volunteer your help? You will be glad you did. The community services of the church can be a great evangelistic tool. This is truly a wonderful way to reach hearts. May God bless this great department of the church as it ministers to those in need.
