Its pastor, Bishop Rueben K. Hash, also serves as the denomination's general overseer. The Church of God Apostolic also has 15 affiliated churches in Africa and 40 in the United States. Francine Knox Thorrtpsor^ Hash's daughter, is the coordinator of next week's convention, which is expected to draw at least 5,000. Like other denominations, The Church of God Apostolic attempts,to indoctrinate its members in the Christian faith. But an indoctrination for success is a key point of emphasis which sets the Church of GoH Annctnlir' in-*'' f - ~ ' -- ? ? ? . .,/v.nviiv upai i I I UIU uincr denominations. That's what the keynote speaker, Dr. Frederick K.C. Price, will explore when he opens the convention Monday. "He has a membership of over 10,000," Thompson says of Price's congregation, "and he has taught his people how to be prosperous.

Like the adults, Thompson says, the children must register and pay a $5 fee. "We have an excellent program outlined for the children," Thompson says. "They'll go through workshop sessions. They'll be entertained by puppet shows, storytellers and Richard Spainhour, the christian magician." The convention also promises good gospel entertainment. Knox says that not only will there will be a number of guests soloists featured at the daily evening services, but also a mass choir cnmnn^H of all the church choirs attending the convention. For church officials who have considered redecorating their churches or updating their bookkeeping methods, Thompson says furniture and computer exhibitions will be on display'in the lower lobby of the Benton Center throughout convention. "The displays will include things related to growing churches," says Thompson, who is one of St. Peter's 1,000 members.
