Offerings for LSM
Living Steam Ministry now has a website through which it can receive online donations from the saints: lsm.org/donations. This website may be used to make one-time donations, designated offerings, and fixed recurring donations. (It may not be used to make payments for goods or services.)
2021 Event Calendar
The 2021 church in Anaheim event calendar was sent with the small group announcements. The calendar may be updated during the year. You may also download the latest version on the church website.
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.
Spring Term of Children’s Meetings
The new spring term of children’s meetings has begun. The meetings will be conducted via Zoom. For more details, please visit churchinanaheim.org/children/meetings.
Online Basic Truth Meeting
The Basic Truth Meeting for ALL districts of the church will be carried out each week on Lord’s Day afternoon at 3:00 P.M. via Zoom. The meeting ID can be obtained through the small group meeting announcements.
Arrangement for Financial Offerings
Because of the church’s ongoing financial obligations, during the time of the church’s modified meeting schedule, the financial offerings of the saints will be very much needed. Donations may be made either by U.S. Mail or electronically. Checks by U.S. Mail should be addressed to:
Church in Anaheim
P.O. Box 8583
Anaheim, CA 92812
Please do not send cash by mail or send checks to the church business office. If you can only donate cash, please fellowship within your group to designate someone to handle cash donations. That person should fellowship with the brothers overseeing the counting service in your district concerning how to pass the money on to the church.
You can give online using a credit or debit card or by PayPal through churchinanaheim.org/donations. This method is the most in keeping with current State of California guidelines, and so as many saints as possible should give online.
Church Address Book Sales
The 2020–2021 edition of the Church Addresses book, which contains contact information for the churches in the US, the US territories, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, are available for purchase. The cost is $5 per book, payable by cash or check. Please order through a representative in your small group.

Encouragement to Preach the Gospel
During the current pandemic we would like to encourage all the saints to take advantage of the situation to share the gospel with their friends and loved ones. We recommend that each saint pray for at least one person and use the web page gospel.biblesforamerica.org to share a gospel tract or video with the needy ones. Links are provided on that web page to share the gospel materials through various electronic means.
