Fellowship on the Small Groups with Brother Minoru
Next sessions:
October 10,2026
November 14, 2026
December 19, 2026
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.
