Announcements for April 12, 2020

Announcements

  • We are planning to have a joint Lord’s table meeting next week (4/19). We will share more details and the Zoom link by email. We will also partake of the bread and the cup and encourage the saints to make preparations at home. Saints who are unable to make their own bread can buy unleavened crackers (matzo) from the grocery store.
  • In light of our current situation, the coworkers are encouraging much prayer (from April 1 – 21). To facilitate this, a new website is available with daily prayer burdens (https://unceasinglypray.org/). Saints can sign up for designated prayer times.
  • We are planning to have a virtual conference in May with brother Ed Marks (May 8-10). Details to follow.
  • Living Stream Ministry is planning to carry out the Memorial Day conference online.
  • If you know of saints who are not receiving the church emails, please have them contact the service office at [email protected] to give permission to be added to the email list.
  • Saints can mail their donations to the meeting hall by check (1835 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004) or electronically via Zelle, which is a funds transfer system that nearly all banks provide. To use Zelle, you need to log into your online banking system (e.g. Bank of America, BECU, Chase, etc.). You can use the church email account ([email protected]) as the recipient. There is a 2.5% service fee for using Zelle.
  • Related to virtual gatherings for children there is a GroupMe group for communication, and the meetings use Zoom. To receive more information please email [email protected].
  • We are continuing the Holy Word for Morning Revival on the Crystallization-Study of Deuteronomy, week 4. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 are available. Saints can acquire a copy of the Holy Word for Morning Revival in one of the following ways:
    • You can pick up a copy from Atsuo Miyake’s home. Please call before coming over.
    • For the older saints who are unable to pick up a copy, please contact the service office at [email protected] with your home address and someone will drop off a copy.
