The Church’s Extension Committee sponsored a public lecture on Oct. 29 in the Loveland Community Building with Rev. Engelsma as speaker. Incidentally, this committee regularly puts out many very good pamphlets. How is the pamphlet supply in your church? Is it kept up to date or are most of the pamphlets yellowed and dusted off regularly? To be good witnesses of our Reformed faith we should be constantly reading and pamphlets can be very valuable aids to us as well as to those outside of our churches. How about a little renovation of those pamphlet racks? For some information on the pamphlets this committee puts out why not write them at: The Reformed Witness, 750 Jefferson Ave., Loveland, Colorado
