After slightly over four wonderful years of association with the church in Selma, California, we have moved to the city of Payette, Idaho, to work with the brethren in this section of the country for the cause of the Lord. The brethren here have a mind to work! In August of 1966, two families (who had been meeting in one of their homes), purchased a church building - and with no outside assistance whatever. They were soon joined by others and we now number seven families. I am being supported by California churches in Clovis, Compton, Coalinga, El Centro, Escalon, and Fresno (E. Belmont Ave.)

It was extremely hard to part from the good brethren in Selma, California, but we look forward to a good work here. Payette is (as far as I know at this writing), the only conservative church in the entire state of Idaho, and in the entire Eastern Oregon section (Payette is right across the border from Ontario, Oregon). The church in Ontario, Oregon, operates a Kindergarten. We understand some (at least one) congregation in the area practices, in effect, "open membership." So there is a great need for a strong, sound congregation in this part of the country. We pray the Lord will crown our efforts here with great success. Visit us when in the area! We meet at 9th St. and 2nd Ave. So. in Payette. On Lord's day we meet for Bible classes at 10:00 a. m.; 11:20 a. m. for Worship, and evening assembly for worship is at 6:00 p. m. We have classes for all ages on Thursday evening at 7:30 p. m. If you know anyone in this general area who might be interested in home Bible study, or someone out-of duty, or brethren who might be interested in working with us, please contact me at 502 15th Ave. No. , Payette, Idaho, 83661. Phone is 208 (area code) 642-2454. Correspondents will please note change of address.
