Dear saints,
This email serves as the final announcement and details for the 2023 NorCal-wide Thanksgiving Video Conference, starting on Friday, November 24th to Lord’s Day, November 26th. Please review each item carefully and retain this email as a reference.
Thanksgiving Conference Overview:
The subject of this Thanksgiving Conference is: "The Enjoyment of Christ and Our Growth in Life unto Maturity." Living Stream Ministry encourages the churches to blend together during this conference. To facilitate blending, we will conduct a NorCal-wide conference via Zoom. The messages will be streamed according to the schedule below, in English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, and Russian. After each message, there will be a time for overflow. For some of the messages, the overflow will be in breakout rooms.
Zoom Meeting Information:
-
The Zoom link for all messages will be accessible at the NorCal conference webpage: 2023 Thanksgiving Conference – Northern California Churches (norcalchurches.org).
-
The messages will begin promptly at 10:00 AM and 7:30 PM. Saints should join the meetings 5 minutes early (i.e. 9:55 AM and 7:25 PM) to allow time for prayer, singing, and instructions. Once you have joined, please rename yourself according to the following convention:
-
Individual saints or small household groups: “[Name(s)], [Locality]” example: “John and Sally Smith, San Francisco”
-
If you are joining for a group: “[Locality], [Number of saints]” example: “Burlingame, 14”
-
-
Languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, and Russian) will be by separate Zoom links accessible at the NorCal conference webpage.

Outlines for all the messages will be available at conf.lsmwebcast.com, and also at the NorCal conference webpage.
May the Lord bless the continued blending of the churches for the building up of the Body of Christ,
The coordinating brothers
