A printer selected and deadline established for receipt of all devotional messages from members.

Passages distributed with date for use noted and a request for a prayer to be used that day also.

A contest held among youth of Reformation to design cover art for the booklet.

Cover design selected and all devotional messages and prayers made ready for the printer.
