The same Committee made further study of the Burwell
Hospital situation. Needless to say, the Andersons are doing a
magnificient job, working long hours, caring for about 30 nursing
home patients, and also the "transient" patients for which
they have 8-12 beds. The Board purchased a new incubator for
the hospital. Also, the Board recommended to Dr. Brown and to
E. A. Maddox, M.D., a local physician and member of our Church,
that they consider the formation of a Hospital Board, in order that
they may receive contributions from the Church and individuals
through legal channels, toward an independent hospital program.
The Indian Mission
The Rev. and Mrs. Jerry L. Hayenga serve the Indian Mission
at Apache, Oklahoma. Mr. Hayenga was ordained by Midwest
Presbytery, October 4, I960, and was appointed Stated Supply of
the Cache Creek Congregation.
The work of the Mission is similar to that of congregations,
with the ordinances of worship and church programs for social
and spiritual growth. A Junior Society has been started this year.
Prayer Meetings are held once a month in Oklahoma City. Attendance
at Church Services has become more stable, offerings have
increased, and there are other evidences of spiritual growth. Rev.
and Mrs. Hayenga are doing a good work.
The building improvement for this year includes a new roof
on the south and east sides of the church, repair or replacement
of window frames of the church, and application of paint. The
building formerly used as a parsonage is being demolished, and
probably has been removed by this time.
We began the year with a balance of $2,481.00 in the treasury
and ended with a balance of $2,664.00. The budget for this year
asks of Synod's budget $3,000.00 and contemplates a balance
of $1,000.00
The Kentucky Mission
Mrs. R. C. Adams and Miss Elda Patton are the devoted
workers in the Kentucky Mission at Wrigley, Kentucky. The work
has followed the same pattern as reported in previous years,
namely, teaching Bible in the schools during the school year of
September to June, conducting Vacation Bible Schools and participating
in summer camp programs during vacation period, and
conducting Sabbath School at Wrigley and Blaze or elsewhere the
year round. In addition, there is the personal work of the Women
Missionaries in the homes and communities. This year they
taught 37 classes in 21 schools, with an enrollment of 1007 in
their Bible classes. Studies were in the Pentateuch and Joshua.
