Monday January 2, 2006 Greetings brethren, The eleventh new moon of Scriptural year was seen easily in many locations on Sunday evening. The new moon was not seen in Central Missouri due to cloud cover. Please keep the Dupus family in your prayers. Marie Dupus passed away on December 31. Sister Marie Dupus was a great women and had great support from her husband, Elder Al, and her son, John Dupus, and his family. She will be greatly missed. The Dupus family can be reached at: John and Adriana Dupus, 3209 S. Linwood, Sand Springs, OK 74063 or shaul67@aol.com.On another front, please keep the brethren in Oklahoma and Texas in your prayers. The fires are threatening brethren's lives and the lives of their families. Yahweh bless, James A. Meyer Jerusalem, IsraelOn Sunday January 1, 2006 observers looked for the moon from Israel but it was not sighted due to heavy cloud coverage. With 3.35% illumination and 86 minutes lagtime the moon would have been easily visible had there not been clouds. Therefore, it may be considered New Moon day based on the principle of "potential visibility". For more information on this concept please see:
