Announcements — Week of June 26, 2022

Prayer Meeting
The church prayer meeting on Tuesday, June 28, will be held in the small groups.

Church Meeting on July 3
The in-person church meetings by district originally planned for July 3 have been postponed until after the semiannual training. All meetings on July 3 will be held on Zoom in the small groups. This decision was made after careful consideration in order to reduce the overall risk for Covid-19 exposure among saints who will attend the live semiannual training on July 4-9.

Church Meetings by Language on July 10
On July 10 the church will meet by language at 9:30 a.m., with the English-speaking saints meeting at District 1, the Chinese-speaking saints at District 2, the Korean-speaking saints at District 3, and the Spanish-speaking saints at District 4. (The meeting places for the Korean-speaking saints and the Spanish-speaking saints were changed permanently from last week’s announcements.) Information for those who wish to participate online can be found in the small group announcements.

Background Checks for Serving Ones
As we look toward restarting in-person children’s and young people’s meetings, all saints who desire to serve, including those who have previously served, are required by state law to submit a new application and request a background check through ProtectMyMinistry.org. Links to the background check request and application can be found at yp.churchinanaheim.org and children.churchinanaheim.org.
