UCG's experiment a virtual success

MILFORD, Ohio--The UCG-AIA's experiment with a "virtual magazine," available through the Internet, has been a success, said Victor Kubik, elder and chairman of the media-and-communications committee of the council of elders of the United Church of God, an International Association.

In an article in the January edition of United News, a member newsletter, Mr. Kubik said 11 issues of Virtual Christian have been published on the World Wide Web at virtually no cost to the church.

Last service in auditorium

PASADENA, Calif.--The last regular Worldwide Church of God service in Ambassador Auditorium was Saturday, Feb. 26.

Los Angeles WCG members will meet in Los Angeles, while those in Pasadena will meet in Fellowship Hall, formerly known as the Ambassador Student Center, on the church property.

Ambassador Auditorium will still be used for combined services and other occasional events.

Legacy Partners, which is in the process of buying the property, plans to raze classrooms and other buildings, preserving only the auditorium and historic mansions while developing an "urban village" on the site.

A COG Ministry continues

CARMEL, Calif.--A Church of God Ministry, founded by the late Lon Lacey, plans to continue, according to spokesman Michael Storey.

Mr. Lacey died of heart failure Jan. 11 or 12 at his home here.

In a letter to the group's mailing list, Mr. Storey said the ministry, thanks to Mr. Lacey, gained an "immeasurable understanding of God's Scripture" and must "resolve to carry on forward, walking in the path he shed so much light on."
