Praise Conference Streaming

You are invited to watch the special Northern California praise
conference which is being held this Sabbath at the Sacramento
Church. The link for the live feed of the service is:

https://new.livestream.com/accounts/6873756/sdarmlive

There will be a message presented by David Zic on the reason for
thankfulness and how the Sanctuary Message gives us the greatest
assurance of salvation. Because of the nature of the praise
conference, most of the program at 9:30am, 11:00am and 2:00pm
(Pacific Standard Time) is composed of music. You are welcome to
watch, but we wish to mention that we are not sure how the sound
quality of the musical presentations will come through.
If you know of anyone in the greater Sacramento area, please
invite them to come to the Sacramento Church and experience the
praise conference in person.

Prayers for Romania and Ukraine

The brethren in Romania and Ukraine need our special prayers at
this time. Increasing tension in eastern Europe has led to the national
governments of these former communist countries from behind the

iron curtain to reintroduce military service. As a historical
conscientious objection church the SDARM is extremely worried over
these developments.
Romania recently approved and published official documents
requiring Romanian men aged 20 to 35 to fill out and hand over to
military recruitment commissions in case of a war. The documents
were published in the Official Gazette.
In 2006 military training the government removed mandatory
military service in Romania, instead opting for a volunteer military.
Until 2006, Romania had mandatory military service for all men
aged 18, or older, in case they entered university immediately after
highschool. Now, due to the increasing tensions in the region the
government is stating that in case of a war or a state of siege,
military service becomes mandatory again for all Romanian men 20
to 35.
The most recent census shows that Romania has 2.1 million men
aged 20 to 35. Romania has the fourth highest number of SDARM
members of any country.
The recent publication of these documents in Romania came as
tensions in neighboring Ukraine have been mounting. In addition,
observers are concerned the Romania may get involved in the
Russian backed breakaway part of neighboring northern Moldova,
which calls itself Transnistria.
Ukraine decided to re-introduce mandatory military service this
week, as a reaction to the degrading situation in the Eastern part of
the country, which is under siege by the pro-Russia militia.
There was a time when the young men in these countries suffered
greatly for their Christian convictions, and it appears that this time is
coming again. With a large Romanian and Slavic membership in the
NCC, this part of the world is special to us and we will be keeping it
in our special prayers.
General Conference Session 2015

The latest report from the General Conference Executive
Committee is that the plans for holding the 2015 GC Delegation
Session in Roanoke are continuing as planned. There had been some
discussion that the meetings would be moved to Romania or Brazil,
but these reports are not correct.
