Announcements — Week of December 11, 2022

Prayer Meeting
On Tuesday, December 13, we will begin an in-person English-speaking and an in-person Spanish-speaking prayer meeting at the District 1 meeting hall, 1855 W. Ball Rd., at 7:30 p.m. The English-speaking saints will meet upstairs on the west side, and the Spanish-speaking saints will meet downstairs in room C101. The Chinese-speaking saints and the Korean-speaking saints will continue to pray as in previous weeks. There will be a Zoom alternative for the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking saints who cannot gather in person. All the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking saints who pray on Zoom should join one meeting for their respective language. Zoom information can be found in the small group announcements.

New Year’s Eve Prayer
Because the December semiannual training will end at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 31, the church has decided not to have a prayer meeting on New Year’s Eve. If they are burdened to do so, the saints can pray with their family or in small groups.

Children’s & Young People’s Meeting — Registration
Registration for Children’s Meetings and Background Check for Serving Ones
As we resume the in-person children’s meetings in all the districts, in order for the children to participate in the children’s meetings, all parents are required to register their immediate family, including parents, children, and young people. In addition, all saints who desire to serve with the children and the young people, including those who have previously served, are required by state law to submit a new application and request a background check. Links to the church’s policy, family registration, and serving one’s application and background check can be found at www.churchinanaheim.org/cyp.

In-person Basic Truth Meeting
The Basic Truth Meeting for ALL districts of the church will continue on Lord’s Days, at 11:00 A.M. at District 1.

YP Bible Reading Schedule
The young people will begin reading Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. This week of December 11 we will read Ezra 1 and 2. The young people are encouraged to continue to read with the groups they have formed in the previous challenge. Details and full schedule are at YP.ChurchinAnaheim.org/BibleReading.

    The 2023 North America College Training will be held on July 16-22, 2023, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Registration will open on January 1. The High School Senior class of 2022-2023 is invited to join. Details are at collegetraining.org.

Serving at the Bibles for America Distribution Center
The BfA Distribution Center (DC) has moved to the LSM campus. Those who are burdened and would like to be a candidate to serve as a volunteer at the DC can apply at bfa.org/dc-volunteer. A short video on the BfA operation at the DC is provided at youtube.com/watch?v=KPy1e-5ozWI. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve in spreading God’s interpreted Word to the hungry and seeking ones.

English-speaking Sisters’ Prayer Times
Each week sisters’ prayer times are held on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. and on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Please see the small group announcements for the Zoom ID.
