Semiannual Training Meeting and Study Schedule
Please see the Church News for details on meeting times. Information concerning the study groups will be emailed to all registered trainees. All trainees should use the Zoom meeting information and follow the training regulations and guidelines received by email from the training coordinator.
Open Meetings of the Training and Lord’s Day Meeting
The two semiannual training meetings on Saturday, July 4, will be open meetings. These meetings will take place online via Zoom from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 P.M. and from 7:45 P.M. to 9:45 P.M. The church meeting on Lord’s Day, July 5, for both the Lord’s table and prophesying will be by language and will take place online via Zoom, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The details are given below for the English-speaking meetings. Please note that the Zoom meeting ID is the same for English-speaking meetings on both Saturday and Lord’s Day. Details for meetings in other languages will be provided by the responsible brothers in each language.
Statement from the Elders regarding Relaxation of COVID-19 Protective Restrictions
The elders are actively seeking the Lord’s leading as to how to proceed with Because of an ongoing concern regarding the risk of COVID-19 exposure if in-person meetings are resumed, the elders feel that for the month of July all church meetings, including the Lord’s table, the prayer meeting, and the small group meetings, should be conducted online. Attempts to “re-open” have resulted in spikes in COVID-19 infections in a number of states, including California.
Persevering in Prayer
On June 15 the redesigned website beseeching.org was launched to help the saints to persevere in daily intercessory prayer and continue from the 60 days of global 24-hour prayer that ended in May. The first 14 days will focus on burdens related to the Memorial Day conference, and the following days will focus on burdens related to the Lord’s move in the United States.
From June 29 through July 5 the daily posting and emailing of prayer burdens will be suspended so that the saints can focus on the semiannual training.
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.
A Timely Speaking of Supply from Brother Lee to Meet the Present Need
The Lord has blessed His recovery by revealing His divine truths. We must seize every opportunity to be filled with the word and the Spirit and rise up to go and speak the truths to others to meet the present need. Each week Living Stream Ministry will post a video from messages given by Brother Lee from 1986. These messages are just as fresh and relevant today as they were then. See lsm.org to stream the weekly video.
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.

Woodland Camp — A Training Center for All of Europe
Woodland Camp is a 17-acre site near London, England. It was acquired in 2013 with a view to developing it for trainings and weekend retreats for all of Europe. There is a renewed burden to focus on this crucial project and to support it with much prayer, going, and giving, so that the entire project can be completed in the most expeditious manner possible for the advance of the Lord’s move in Europe.
For reports and videos on the building projects and activities in Europe, visit: amanatrust.org.uk/reports. Offerings to meet this need should be designated, “Woodland Camp.”
