The new property Is not
but in the edge of Taylor Township. To avoid any confu-
sion it has been decided that a change of name is neces-
sary. The Dearborn Heights congregation, formerly Van
Born, will no longer be known by either of these names.
Over a number of weeks many names have been *•
considered by the Elders and members of this congrega-
tion. From the names suggested it was decided that it
will be known as the Sunset Church of Christ. “This des-
ignation suggests that it is located on the sunset side at
town; that is, that we serve the west subUrban Detroit
area,” said Robert McAnally, local minister.
He reported that enthusiasm and interest is very
high. When the 1966 budget of $841 per week was pre-
sented, the members responded by meeting and going
$33 over the first Sunday.
Keen Interest
• ’ .
The new Sunset church has already shown a keen in-
terest in mission work. $13,189, or 37% of the 1965 budget
was spent in mission activities. The elders have ex-
pressed their desire to in no way cut any missionary ac-
tivities during the building program, but have set a goal
of adding one new mission family fully supported each
year as soon as possible.
A $150,000 bond program has been issued to secure
the 9 1 / 2 acres of property and begin construction. An
additional $150,000 in bonds to continue and complete
construction will be issued in April. These are first mort-
gage bonds bearing 6% interest payable semi-annually.

Auditorium to Seat 700;
Group to Change Name
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. — Elders Adair
Langston and Carl Swindell have announced plans of the
Dearborn Heights church to begin construction of a new
building this spring. A 9 1 / 2 acre site has been secured
at a cost of $70,000.
This new property is located on Ecorse Road, about
one mile south of the present location.
The new building is to be constructed in several
stages The first stage involvas the building of a 700-seat
auditorium with about 25 classrooms, nurseries, office
section, radio studio, printing room, library, Bible cor-
respondence room, etc.
This structure should satisfy the <
needs for several years. However, the buil<
have this unique feature that when need arises for ex-
pansion, an additional wing of classrooms will be con-
structed and some of the temporary classroom walls in
stage (me will be removed so that the auditorium seating
capacity will be increased from 700 to 1,200. \
Later in a similar way in a third stage the seatinA
capacity becomes 1,750, and in a fourth stage over 2,200. \
This flexibility gives the congregation unlimited oppor-
tunity to become a growing, powerful congregation.

Jack Hoover, solicitation; Rob-
ert McAnally, advertising; Car-
son Spivey, attendance and
transportation; Gene Carroll,
program committee; Boyd Glo-
ver, registration and response;
and E. L. Freeland, physical
arrangements.
Plans call for extensive per-
sonal work, and hundreds of
volunteer workers will be need-
ed. A massive advertising cam-
paign utilizing every available
media is being planned. Ap-
proximately 65% of the total t
budget will be used for adver- 5Ji.ch

The primary aim of the
meeting is evangelistic; that is,
to reach the lost and to restore
the erring. In addition, howev-
er, the sheer magnitude of this
venture for souls will make a
dynamic, favorable impression
on the people of the Detroit
area and will bear much fruit
for years to come.
The solicitation committee
has been active in visiting con-
gregations and raising money
for several months. Jack Hoov-
er, chairman of the committee,
reports that the financial situa-
tion is very encouraging. i
To date, 46 congregations are
participating with pledges rang-
ing from $50 to $3,000. The av-
•rage is $700. The total com-
