The burden of this conference is not for any specific age category but is general for all saints in the NorCal region. Despite the burden being general, we particularly encourage the working saints from 25-50 years old to register to attend the conference in person and to encourage other working saints you may know to do the same.
Who should register:
Saints of all ages who are able to attend the conference meetings in person (there is no provision for children and no separate YP meetings at FSCC).
How do I know I have a seat at the conference:
You will receive a separate email to confirm you have a seat at the conference.
Parking: parking is very limited at FSCC, therefore, no car with less than 3 saints will be permitted to enter the FSCC parking lot. More details on this will be given in future emails.
Childcare:
There is no childcare at FSCC during this conference. Saints are encouraged to make arrangements outside of FSCC for childcare.
YP meetings:
There are no YP meetings at FSCC during this conference.
Zoom:
For those not attending in person, Zoom will be available.
We hope all the saints will bear this conference up in prayer that we can receive the ministry through our brother in the best possible way and for the Lord’s covering and blessing of all the practical details.
semiannual video training schedule
Semiannual Winter Training
The registration deadline is approaching.
The next Semiannual Training will be held from December 23rd through the 28th in Anaheim, California. Registration is now open for both in-person and video training sessions. Please contact Dino DiBartolomeo if you would like to register for the in-person or video training. He must receive your request for registration by October 29th in order to meet LSM’s deadline of November 1st. LSM will not accept late registrations.
The schedule includes a mandatory study time immediately following each message, so the additional study times listed are not mandatory. This is to give saints who must work the opportunity to participate in this training without loss of work time. We have tried our best to keep each training session within two hours, including testing for about 15 minutes before the message and the mandatory study time afterwards.
There are two open meetings: both Tuesday nights.
Please note that there is a training meeting on Wednesday, December 25.

Scheduled Saturdays 10:00-12:00
Lessons on Shepherding
We will gather again on Zoom Saturday, November 16th, 2024 at 10 am with brother Minoru for the next session of the Lessons on Shepherding. The link will be emailed to you. Outlines that may be used for this session will be available on the front porch of the meeting house.
Future Dates of Fellowship with Brother Minoru:
December 7, 2024
These gatherings are a series of training by brother Minoru on shepherding as an urgent and crucial need among us. The goal of this training is that we see the vision and pick up the burden of shepherding eventually to learn the pattern and the practice of shepherding. This training is open to all saints, younger and older, and especially the seeking ones and the serving ones.
Outlines
Registration - As a reminder, if you have not already done so, you can signup for the Lesson on Shepherding by clicking this link . Registering to attend will also allow you to receive further communication of subsequent gatherings of this kind.
Attendance for each session is not mandatory and there is no fee. We hope that the saints would be burdened to practice these things seriously but we also realize there are many other time constraints on the working saints and as such this perfecting time will not demand or require the participating saints to go beyond their capacity.
According to Lamentations 3:40 “Let us examine our ways and try them, And let us turn again to Jehovah…” that we would be one with the Lord in His shepherding ministry.
Please pray for the Lord to continue to advance in us regarding this matter of shepherding, and that these sessions would be useful to the Lord to gain us as shepherds of His people,

Corporate Pursuit Classes -second term
Corporate Pursuit Classes at the Fremont Springs Conference Center
We thank the Lord for the completion of the first term of FSCC Corporate Pursuit. We can testify that the Lord has blessed all the participants with His rich presence and speaking.
For the first term which ended on October 4, 2024, over 100 saints have registered for the classes. Some dear saints came all the way from Central Valley to join us, and their travel time alone is over four hours round trip. Some nearby saints seize the opportunity provided by hybrid work arrangements to join the corporate pursuing classes. How we worship the Lord for the seeking and pursuing spirit of the brothers and sisters.
The second term will soon begin and we pray that many will continue and many more can join this enjoyable and profitable time.
The dates for the next term:
Wednesday class: 10/30 - 11/20
Friday class: 11/1 - 11/22
The schedule will be:
9:30 am Pray and study the HWMR of the week
10:30 am Break
11:00 am Lessons on Shepherding, and practice.
12:00 pm Lunch at the FSCC
As in the first term, the saints only need to pick either the Wednesday or Friday classes, not both.
The focus of the the 9:30am and 11:00am sessions will be:
9:30 am class: Digest the HWMR messages through PSRP, both in truth and in application
11:00 am class: Get into the burden regarding shepherding, and fellowship on the practice
Please note that we have changed the PSRP time to be on the current HWMR of NorCal churches schedule, to help the saints to get into and prepare for the prophesying of the churches.

May the Lord continue to bless this corporate pursuit for the building up of His Body
Saturday mornings 8:00-9:00
Truth Pursuit
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.
