Senior Saints conference

We are pleased to announce the “Second Northern California Senior Saints Conference for 2025” with Brother Minoru Chen, scheduled for May 3, Saturday starting at 10 AM. We warmly invite all senior saints (defined as age 55 and older) in the Northern California churches to join us for the continuation of our brother’s burden and sharing that commenced on March 1st at the first conference. We plan to end at approximately 12:45 PM and as a result we hope saints will plan to have some post-conference blending by joining with a few others to go out for lunch at one of the several nearby restaurants.

Meeting Schedule:

1st Meeting.................. 10:00 AM

2nd Meeting................. 11:45 AM

Dismissal:.................... 12:45 PM

All meetings will take place at the Fremont Springs Conference Center (FSCC), located at 47655 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539. Translation services will be available in Chinese, Spanish, Korean and Russian.

2025 Second NorCal Senior Saints Conference Registration Form

Hotel:

A special group rate of $99/night (before taxes) for May 2nd, Friday night, at the Hilton Garden Inn Fremont Milpitas is available to those saints who would desire overnight lodging the evening before the conference, Please use the registration form to indicate your interest. The special discount link will be provided to you to make your reservation. The deadline date for the discounted rate is April 18th, Friday.

Please Attend in Person (Limited Zoom access)

As was the case with the first conference, availability of Zoom will be limited because our in-person presence combined with the exercise of our spirit helps greatly to release the Spirit and burden from our brother while at the same time it grants us who are attending an extra measure of grace to receive and lay hold of what is being released. Please make the extra effort to come. It is totally worth it! However, in recognition that there are special health and age related issues for some individuals and inordinate travel distances to the FSCC for remote far-away localities, consideration for Zoom access will be made upon request to one of the leading brothers for these hardship cases. 

Additional information and instructions will be released nearer to the conference date. For now, please mark your calendars and REGISTER soon.

Registration is now open for the Semiannual Training. If you'd like to register, please contact Dino DiBartolomeo.

The lessons on shepherding over the last several years have truly been a blessing to the churches, and our brother's feeling is to make a turn and even an advancement to build on those lessons in a new series in which he will cover the many aspects of the small groups. We are full of rejoicing that the Lord will continue to shepherd and perfect the saints in Northern California through these fellowship times with brother Minoru. 

The format will be similar and will be on Zoom from 10 am - 12 pm approximately once a month. 

Outlines cannot be distributed electronically. Printed copies will be available on the front porch of the meeting hall by noon on the Thursday before each scheduled Saturday meeting.

"The big meetings can attract the people, but only the small meetings can build people up. Our present need is to find a way to improve the small meetings so that they will become rich, strong, fresh, living, attractive, and able to uphold all the saints. The small meetings are the foundation of the building of the church; this is an unshakable law. If we do not keep this law, we will not have any building. It is easy to gather materials, but it is not easy to build them together. In Christianity we only see the gathering in of the material; we do not see the building. However, we ourselves have made the same mistake. For this reason, we all must have a change. We all need to be balanced. It does not mean that we do not need to go out and gather people in. It only means that we should not gather at the expense of sacrificing the building."

(The Living Needed for Building Up the Small Group Meetings, Ch 1, CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, pp 11-16)

May the Lord continue to bless this corporate pursuit for the building up of His Body.

We thank the Lord for leading the East Bay Churches in pursuing "the up-to-date truth" according to the ministry of the age in a definite way since February of last year. We are endeavoring to take the way of constitution by practicing Pray-Reading, Studying, Reciting and Prophesying (PSRP):

• Pray-Reading (P) is to exercise our spirit to touch the living Word in the written Word and have the divine reality, the processed Triune God as the applied word, infused into our being. 
• Studying (S) is to exercise our mind of the spirit for the truth to get into us through our mentality, our understanding.
• Reciting (R) is to retain the understanding through the shining of the truth for constant and long-term nourishment. To practice in this way, we will have an accumulation of the truth and become persons continually under constant nourishment.
• After PSR, we will then be able to prophesy (P) and know how to present the truth to others, not merely to inspire them or to stir them up but to make them solid and constituted with the truth.

We will pursue and practice together every Saturday. For this coming year, may the Lord "Teach us then to number our days/ That we may gain a heart of wisdom" to redeem our Saturday mornings to buy the truth. The Zoom link will be emailed prior to each meeting.
