Gospel Meeting on December 7
On December 7 the church will hold a gospel meeting in the District 1 meeting hall from 7:15 to 8:30 P.M. There will be no dinner at the meeting hall. We encourage the saints to invite their gospel candidates to eat dinner in their homes before bringing them to the meeting hall. Childcare for children from 5 years old to fifth grade will be provided on the ground floor of the meeting hall. Because of limited manpower, we can serve only the children of parents and new ones who attend the gospel meeting. Children younger than 5 years old can be cared for by a parent on the third floor on the west side of the meeting hall.

The saints are encouraged to pray individually and in groups for the gospel meeting on December 7. The following ways are suggested:
• Pray corporately Monday through Friday on Zoom at 7:00 a.m., starting on November 25. Please see the small group announcements for Zoom information.
• Pray for a few minutes after reading a Life-study message with your reading group
• Pray with your small group during a group meeting or at other times arranged by the group
