ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. We are thankful to the leading of the Lord, brother Joseph Xue and sister Nian Zhang (Sherry) married on Saturday, June 5, 2021. They exchanged their vows before the Lord, and in front of their families, and brothers and sisters during the wedding. May the Lord bless this union and make their family a place for his rest, and a channel of blessings to the people around them.
2. West Coast Christian Conference (WCCC) 2021:
   Thanks be to the Lord! The West Coast Christian Conference for 2021 will be held from Wednesday, July 28 through Sunday, August 1. The conference last year was canceled because of the pandemic. We are thankful to the Lord that the situation has improved. Even so, restrictions persist on travel, room and board, and mass gatherings. And the health and safety of brothers and sisters remain our priority. As a result, the conference will be held online this year. The theme for this conference will be what the Lord gave us last year: “The Spiritual Reality of the Church”. The focus is Col 3:11b: Christ is all. Registration is set to open on April 15, 2021. Detailed information will be provided as soon as it is available. Please read the linked First Prayer Letter for the Conference.
3. Breaking of Bread: 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, Brother Caleb and Sister Jean. 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
4. Prayer Meeting: Our weekly prayer meeting is on Tuesdays from 8:00 to 9:15 PM. We are using Webex to host the combined session of the meeting. Please download the Webex app and use it to attend the meeting. Meeting number: 627 564 274 Password: 4000.
