At the end of November, the Vancouver, British Columbia, congregation hosted an open house. Along with the letter of invitation to the open house, readers received offers for a booklet and a CD message. At press time 11.3 percent of the approximately 170 readers responded requesting either or both of the offered items. "We did not have any new people attend on the specific day, but did have one new lady, a GN reader, attend a week later," said David Palmer, pastor.
