ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our church has not been able to have Breaking of Bread Meeting for a long time. But we want to follow the Lord’s command. According to the Holy Bible (Acts 2:46), saints can break bread at home if there are more than two people in a household. When conducting the Breaking of Bread, please use unleavened bread (like Matzo) and grape wine to remember the Lord. For regional home meetings, each home meeting may conduct its Break of Bread together online. Each family or individual within a regional home meeting will prepare its own bread and cup to remember the Lord. If brothers and sisters need any assistance relating to the online Breaking of Bread, like how to host or participate in an online meeting, or how to prepare unleavened bread and grape wine, or needing Hymnaries, for English Group, please contact Brother William Go, Brother Caleb Kwok and Sister Jean Ho. If conditions permit in the future, we can have a church-wide online Breaking of Bread. For information to access coming Sunday’s Breaking of Bread, please email William at williego@pacbell.net
