The proposed schedule for the conference:​​​​​​

The schedule for the general meetings is now shortened to an hour and a half for each of the first 3 sessions, with a slight adjustment for the Lord's Day morning:

• Friday Evening: 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (Message 1)

• Saturday Morning: 10:00 am - 12 noon (Message 2)

• Saturday Afternoon: 12 noon - 3:00 pm     Lunch/picnic/Burlingame hall

• Saturday Afternoon: 4:00  pm – 5:00 pm (Special Fellowship)

• Saturday Evening: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm (Message 3)

• Lord's Day Morning: 10 am - 12:15 pm (Lord’s Table and Message 4)

​

1. Within each of the Friday and Saturday meetings, we plan to have three brothers speak the burden for the message for 10 minutes each, then the saints will have 15 minutes to speak for 45 seconds each. The NorCal subregions will be in the order: Friday evening--South Bay; Saturday morning--East Bay; Saturday evening--North Bay and Valley. 

​

2. Following the burden for the building up, in the second half of the first three meetings we plan to have a speaking on the practice of the small groups as a central matter concerning the practical building up of the local churches. There will be two brothers speaking for 15 minutes each, followed by 15 minutes of response by the saints in general.

​

3. For the Lord's Day, we plan to have the Lord's table meeting at 10 am (a change form previous years, 30 minutes later). Then two brothers will speak on the final conference message for 15 minutes each. We have reserved the final hour for a concluding word from our Brother Gary Kaiser.

​

For the schedule on Saturday afternoon, please see earlier emails concerning the "picnic" time at the park, the Burlingame meeting hall, and other possible venues. 

​

Please note that the shorter meeting schedule should give the saints additional time for blending fellowship during the conference. The planning for this Labor Day Conference is with a view to more blending and building up together among the saints of all the NorCal churches. Even as we have a fresh appreciation for the building up in our locality, we recognize our need for the blending together in the Body of Christ.

Please pray for the Lord to fulfill His purpose through this once-a-year gathering of all the NorCal Churches and saints..
