Change in Lord’s Day Online Meetings
Beginning next Lord’s Day, February 2, the online meetings through Zoom will change to a hybrid format. The saints of all languages and all districts who meet online will join the Lord’s table meeting in District 3 and participate in that Zoom meeting in a hybrid format—the saints who meet online will not be spectators but will be participants in the meeting. Following the Lord’s table meeting, the English-, Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese-speaking saints will have separate prophesying meetings by language in a hybrid format. There will be no online prophesying meeting for the Spanish-speaking saints. The English-speaking saints will remain in District 3’s Zoom prophesying meeting, and the Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese-speaking saints will leave the District 3 meeting in which they enjoyed the Lord’s table and move to another Zoom meeting for their separate languages. Please see the small group announcements for further information and Zoom links. So far there is no change in the online format for the Tuesday night prayer meeting. Please continue to meet online for the prayer meeting as before.
