February, 1961, Volume 30, Number 2, Page 39
Stockton, Calif. -
Bethany Church has a $1,000 option with a promise of a bank loan of $12,000 toward the purchase of a building. A property with an attractive church structure is available for $25,000 and the congregation hopes to raise the balance in gifts or loans by June 1st in order to obtain the needed building. The Rev. Jack Miller is pastor of Bethany Church.
Although it is itself a new mission congregation, one of its members, Dr. Jack Julien, who resides in Sonora, has been anxious for a Reformed witness in his city in the heart of the Mother Lode country in the foothills of the Sierras. At his invitation Presbytery's missionary Henry Coray has been holding Bible classes in the Julien home since last fall. The group, which numbers about a dozen, is studying the book of Romans on the first and third Friday evenings of each month.
