Youth from across northern California gathered at Prunedale Church for a special youth Sabbath on November 30. The meetings were held under the theme of examples of overcoming. Jeriel Fountain made a presentation featuring Daniel as an overcomer. David Zic presented two different studies which showed the decision making process of Samson versus that of Joseph. There was a great deal of special music, the highlight of which was the presentation of a special hymn by the new Field Youth Choir. Special thanks to the drivers from Sacramento who drove the vans with the young people.

Executive officers from the various churches of the Northwest Field gathered on Sunday, December 1, at the Sacramento Church for the first in a series of sponsored training sessions. Training sessions were conducted by Jorai Cruz, Caleb Fountain and David Zic and focused on executive church officers including the Leader, Secretary, Treasurer and Church Board members. This Sunday, December 8, training sessions will be conducted for local church department officers, such as the youth leader, missionary leader, Sabbath school superintendent and teachers, dorcas, deacons, deaconesses, and others. All are invited to attend, but church department officers are especially asked to be present for training. A field-wide department activity plan will be prepared during the meetings, so it is essential that your church representatives be there in order that your local church will be included in activities. The meeting starts at 9am and will end at 1pm with lunch.

Sacramento Church will be holding a mass literature distribution event December 12 in the community near to the church. A large number of health materials and copies of Steps to Christ have been procured for this event. Missionaries from other local churches are encouraged to come and participate in this event.
