Labor Day Conference Picnic
We praise the Lord for His blessing on the Labor Day Conference. The picnic at Coyote Point Park has become a delightful highlight of the conference, with an increasing number of saints participating each year.
Because of this wonderful growth, the park now requires us to register as a special event, which limits participation at Coyote Point Park to 225 saints. One benefit of this registration is that we may be able to provide pre-arranged parking tickets, so traffic will be much better streamlined.
We believe the Lord is sovereign and is leading us to be enlarged. This year, the Church in Burlingame will host TWO blending picnic venues on Saturday, September 5th:
1. Coyote Point Park - limited to 225 participants
2. The Church in Burlingame meeting hall, conveniently located near the Hyatt hotel, with a covered set-up in the parking lot as well as indoor accommodations for pleasant fellowship (up to about 200 saints)
We also believe this may be the Lord's leading and encouragement for other nearby churches to host separate blending opportunities. Hallelujah for the rich supply in the Body!
Please sign up for the venue you plan to attend. We ask that you first view the counter (here: https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyH5MwjdV0-jYVS61khbiIlW-mllFRh0hNZTBKyn0jy6J8wOs26rL9DB2fvbo9sNvFJ/exec), and if space remains available, proceed to the sign-up link.
We encourage everyone to complete the sign-up as soon as possible, since space will be limited.
Praise the Lord for these blending opportunities!

Fellowship on the Small Groups with Brother Minoru
Next sessions:
To be Announced:
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 Thursdays before each session.
"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)

TRUTH PURSUIT - 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.
