NorCal-wide Memorial Day Video Conference, (May 23-26th, 2025)
In order to strengthen the atmosphere and increase the blending, the churches in Northern California will conduct a NorCal-wide video conference for the upcoming International Memorial Day Blending Conference. The general subject of the conference is The Preparation of the Bride.
We will watch the messages being given at the live conference in Phoenix, Arizona, according to the live-webcast schedule specified below, beginning on Friday evening, May 23, 2025. We will join together to watch the messages and then plan to have breakout rooms for blending among saints from different localities for prophesying after each message.
We hope all the saints will sanctify this time to receive the Lord’s speaking and blend with saints from all over Northern California.
The Zoom link and outlines for all messages will be accessible at the NorCal conference webpage: https://www.norcalchurches.org/2025-memorial-day-conference/

Second Senior Saints' Conference with brother Minoru (5/3/25)
We are pleased to announce the second Northern California Senior Saints' Conference with brother Minoru Chen. All senior saints (defined as age 55 and older) in the Northern California churches are warmly invited to join this series in-person, that commenced on March 1st at the first conference. The fellowship is expected to end around 12:45 PM, and this time the saints are encouraged to eat lunch together in the surrounding restaurants.
Date: Saturday, May 3rd
Schedule: 10:00 AM to 12:45 PM with a break in the middle.
Location: Fremont Springs Conference Center (FSCC), located at 47655 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539.
Translation: will be available in Chinese, Spanish, Korean and Russian.
Registration: Please Click Here.
Cost: Free!
Attendance: As with the first conference, availability of Zoom will be limited because our in-person presence combined with the exercise of our spirit helps greatly to release the Spirit and burden from our brother, while at the same time it grants us who are attending an extra measure of grace to receive and lay hold of what is being released. Please make the extra effort to come! It is totally worth it!
However, in recognition that there are special health and age-related issues for some individuals and inordinate travel distances to the FSCC for remote far-away localities, consideration for Zoom access will be made upon request for these hardship cases. Please contact Richard Hsu or Jeff Ou.
