On June 30th the Springfield, Illinois, congregation held Sabbath services at the Crown Plaza Hotel. Randy Stiver spoke about the lost tribes of Israel in his “Tribe Tracker” seminar in the morning. He also gave the sermon in the afternoon. Clearly a lot of research went into his presentations, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The luncheon at the International Buffet was free to all our members courtesy of a contribution by an anonymous donor.

In attendance were members from the Chicago, Bloomington, Canton, and Troy, Illinois, congregations, and from the St. Louis, Missouri, congregation. Everyone enjoyed the presentations, fellowship and meal.

Mr. Stiver was accompanied by his wife Linda and daughter Amanda. While staying in Springfield they were the guests of Susan Horst of Springfield.
