In brief: Megachurch stays with ‘Hour of Power’

From Wire Reports

Garden Grove, Calif. – The megachurch built decades ago by the Rev. Robert Schuller will keep airing its weekly “Hour of Power” television broadcast and hold services, despite a dispute between its board and its 85-year-old founder.

In a statement released Tuesday, Crystal Cathedral Ministries said it will hold regular worship services on Sunday and continue to air the television program both domestically and internationally, although Schuller and his family members have been fired or have cut ties with the church.

Toilet paper supply won’t hit bottom

Trenton, N.J. – Officials in New Jersey’s capital say they’ve resolved a fight over toilet paper.

Trenton’s newspaper, the Times, reported that Mayor Tony Mack’s administration will move forward with an emergency purchase of toilet paper and paper towels. Supplies of both dwindled in city buildings while the administration and City Council quarreled over a contract to resupply city government.

Before the $16,000 emergency contract was announced Tuesday, officials said paper towel and toilet paper dispensers were nearly depleted in senior citizen centers, police headquarters, the fire department and other city offices.
