  7. EM Prayer Meetings: Starting October 1st, EM Prayer Meetings are moved from Wednesdays to Thursdays at 8:45-9:15pm.  Zoom: 384 693 6909.  In addition, you can also join us at the church-wide prayer meetings on Sundays at 10am.  Contact Pastor Liu (liu.william@rpgmbc.org) for the prayer meeting link.  Let us use our knees first before using our hands for church ministries.
  8. Zoom Live Worship: Meeting ID: 384 693 6909.  For now both Zoom and Youtube will be available, but our eventual goal is to transition to just Zoom.  Note: We will mute everyone and ask everyone to turn off the camera when service starts, so that we do not end up streaming anyone on Youtube without consent.  During a sermon if the speaker wants to interact, you can unmute or use messages to chat.  After service, we will all unmute and turn on cameras so we can have some “hang out” time.
