95062     CHANGES IN NEWS BRIEFS DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCED 
 
                     by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
     Beginning with the next issue, every church in the 
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will begin receiving a copy of "News 
Briefs" each week.  This will increase the circulation of "News 
Briefs" from its current 3,000 to approximately 15,000.   
 
     To cut down on mailing list maintenance, each church's copy 
will be addressed to "Pastor/Head of Staff."  The first several 
issues to this expanded audience will include suggestions on how 
to further disseminate the news to other church staff, elders, 
deacons and members of congregations.  
 
     To make this expanded circulation affordable, "News Briefs" 
will be mailed second class (currently it goes first class).  The 
Postal Service has assured us that by mailing on Friday and thereby 
utilizing the weekend, 90 percent of those who receive "News 
Briefs" will receive it just as quickly second class as they would 
first class. 
 
     To make this transition possible, next week's "News Briefs" 
will be delayed.  Instead of being dated March 10, it will be dated 
March 17 and should arrive the middle of that week.  Each 
subsequent issue will be dated the Friday of the week you receive 
it. 
 
     We hope this increased distribution will enable more 
Presbyterians to know more about their denomination.
