CANYON — The following
courses are offered at the
Church of .Christ Bible Chair
at West Texas State in Can-
yon.
“Another part of our plana
might be designated ‘Empha-
sis/Spirituality,’ " said Daniy.
“In this a definite effort will
be made to inspire members of
the congregation to mind the
things of the spirit’ to a deep-
er degree.”
the
Green Lawn church in Lubbock
have been working toward a
greater commitment on the part
of all members for IMS. The
first step was taken January
-23 with an all day planning
.session for all members.
, The members met from 9
Ji m. to 3 pm. to discuss all
.phases of the congregational
program and determine ways to
get more members actively in-
volved.
Within the next month, the
church will have a series of
sermons on the subject of com-
mitment. Additional leaders are
being chosen this month, fol-
lowing a four-sermon series on
Christian leadership by John
White, superintendent of the
children's home of Lubbock.
An active campaign win be
launched by March 1 in prep-
aration for the March 21-28
Gospel meeting with Mack
Wayne Craig of Nashville, Ten-
nessee.
Yes, thousands of Christian families
across the land are now receiving Th*
Christian Chronicle in their home mail
boxes weekly. They are enjoying it and
receiving at least three major benefits—
information, inspiration and edification
—because of the foresight and vision of
the eldership of their local congregation.
Some 400 churches of Christ are now
sending Th* Chronic!* into the homes of
each family in the congregation—and
paying the low monthly cost through the
church treasury.

tions in the Crescent Hill con-
gregation, the first church of

past Our hearts overflow with
gratitude to God for the in-
crease he granted us!”
Daniy said that emphasis is
to be given to the individual's
part in the work of evangelism
in 1965. A new program of visi-
tation has been formulated
which will involve the great-
est possible number of persons.
This activity will be imple-
mented by work programs or-
ganized to supplement the two
scheduled evangelistic meetings
at Southside this year.
There also will be an in-
creased emphasis on mission
work. Southside already sup-
ports programs in Denmark,
and now the elders are turning
to the United States and mis-
sion areas that need support.
Southside has eight young
men who plan to give their
lives in preaching the gospel;
these youths will be working
under the direct supervision of
experienced men, either from
this congregation or from the
mission area.
