Notes and quotes

Second printing

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.--The second printing of Steven Collins' book The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel-Found! was to have been completed by June 30, Mr. Collins said. It's also available in electronic form at www.fn.com/tildakvryland.

Mr. Collins suffers severe health problems. "I'm still in physical therapy, but it will soon end. I think they are basically giving up on finding anything that will help me. It looks like I will live in continued painful disability until God or time heals me. Prayers for God's merciful intervention to stop this pain are much appreciated as I can do little until the pain stops."

Deaf coordinators step down

BIG SANDY, Texas--The coordinators for deaf UCG-AIA brethren resigned as of June 30 in a letter to President Les McCullough.

Brian and Sharon Bettes say they will continue to serve any deaf members of the Church of God who desire services, including United members, but not under United's banner.

The Betteses also informed the UCG-AIA they will not attend the Feast of Tabernacles in October in Louisville, Ky., to interpret sermons for the deaf but will observe the Feast in Big Sandy at the UCG Big Sandy's site.

Mr. Bettes said he does not want to draw deaf church members away from his former affiliation, "but if any choose to come here we will serve them."

The Journal plans to ask the UCG-AIA's main office if the church still plans to provide services for the deaf at the Louisville Feast site and report on any such plans in the July issue.
