Signup for Lessons on Shepherding with Brother Minoru - Saturday, October 14th We are full of praise to the Lord that we can begin a new turn in our gatherings with brother Minoru Chen in NorCal. The goal of these meetings is that we see the vision and pick up the burden of shepherding, eventually to learn the pattern and the practice of shepherding. These sessions are open to all saints, younger and older, and especially the seeking ones and the serving ones.
The first meeting will be on Saturday, October 14th at 10:00 a.m. at the meeting hall of the church in Santa Clara (3550 Benton Street, Santa Clara, 95051)
This meeting will also be broadcast live on Zoom.
Either way, please fill out this form to indicate if you will participate in the October 14 session, either online or in person.
Completing this form is not a guarantee of a seat at the hall. Attendance in-person will be on a first come, first serve basis and space is limited. You will be notified if space is not available and encouraged to join by Zoom instead.
