LBERT~ DVENTIST SEPTEMBER- OCTOBER, 1987

Two Ministers Ordained ADVENTIST Reo Ganson Inaugurated AWARENESS as President of CUC '88 During 1988 a province-wide media advertising campaign is being planned in order to make the average Albertan much more aware of who Seventh-day Adventists are and of how our unique message can benefit them. During the July 18 Sabbath service this past camp meeting, an offering of $7,235.79 was received. Several sample radio spots were played to give our membership an idea of the direction of this program. We have heard nothing but good comments regarding this. We need another $17,800 in order to help finance the Elder and Mrs. Lawrence Branch (left) and Elder and anticipated expenses.

Lorn1ne Ursen, Editor Farewell to the Olsons Our Dear Friends: Lorraine and I have appreciated very much the oppor­ tunity to serve the great Alberta Conference for the past seven-plus years, besides the seven-plus years in this conference from 1965 to 1973. Alberta is a marvelous place in which to live and work. We have accepted a call to serve the Lake Union where I have been asked to serve as Secretary and Ministerial Director for the Union. The Lake Union serves Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Lake Region Conferences. Our time of service here in Alberta will end towards the close of the year 1987. We thank you for the privilege that you have given us to serve as leader of this conference. It has been great - our office, pastoral and teaching staff have been such super team members. Team effort is critical today. · Each of you should give God thanks for the pastor, teacher, and office staff that you have. They are the very best you will find any place. We long for Jesus to come; be faithful and be sure nothing will hold you from being ready for that end-time event. Money, house~. land, esteem, and the praise of men mean nothing! God bless each one of you. We are leaving behind many, many dear-to-our-heart friends, but we will take with us many, many fond memories. We will be praying for you all, and please pray for us. For some of us, it will mean never meeting again on this earth- but won't it be a wonderful day when we meet Christ our Lord at His Second Coming and all of our faithful friends and loved The Olsons- Judy and Bill and their three sons, Greg, David and Edward- were ones! honored at a fare~ell party by the Alberta Conference staff on Thursday, September 17.
