Major's Moment
We praise the Lord for the wonderful week! Take a glance of some great memories and opportunities to come! Remember, Major Dianne's encouragement in the Word last week; we are salt and light meant to "shake and shine"!!
Matthew 5:13-16: Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Major Shoshannah Ruwethin

Airport Blvd., South San Francisco, CA 94090) Details facility information can be found at: https://ssfconf.com/ There are no vaccination or COVID testing requirements at this time. There is plenty of parking at the venue, and the parking lots of the adjoining hotels may be used as well.

- Please be reminded that there is no childcare for this event. All children must be under the immediate care and supervision of their parents, or another assigned guardian.
- There’s not enough room at the venue for folks to ‘hang out’ and wait for the public meeting. The Tanforan Mall is not too far from the venue, and maybe this is a good opportunity for folks to do a little sightseeing in San Francisco while they wait for the public meeting.
- There will be translation available in Spanish, Korean and Chinese. Receivers will be available at the back of the hall at the translation tables.
