General schedule information is given at the end of this page.
Date: May 30, 2026
May 30 is the fifth Saturday of the month, and there will be no session on that day.
Dates: June 6 and June 13, 2026
We are taking the first two weeks of June as vacation and sabbatical time, so there will be no sessions on June 6 or June 13. Our regular sessions will resume on June 20. For more detail, please visit this page and scroll down to the topic “Engage in Sabbatical Periods.” We trust this interlude will be a period of quiet renewal and spiritual refreshment for all of us.
Date: June 20, 2026
Time: 8:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time
Recording to be announced.
On May 16, 2025, we began a short interlude program on the topic of Sabbatical periods. For more detail, click/tap here.
The Online Tape Group meets on the first four Saturdays of every month. We meet at different times on alternate Saturdays to accommodate the various time zones worldwide. Participants can join the meetings using a computer, a telephone, or a mobile device.
On the first and third Saturdays of each month, the group meets at 8:00 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time. This provides access at convenient times from North America eastward across South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
On the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, the group meets at 6:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time. This provides access to the tape group at convenient times from North America westward across the Pacific to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
We will play the same tape for two consecutive weeks so both time zone groups can hear it. In other words, the tape we play on the first Saturday at 8:00 a.m. will be played again on the second Saturday at 6:00 p.m. The tape we play on the third Saturday at 8:00 a.m. will be repeated on the fourth Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
When a month has five Saturdays, we do not proceed with our regular study program on the fifth Saturday. Still, we may schedule special sessions and hear recordings about the current study program, a holiday, or another timely topic. If we hold sessions on the fifth Saturday, we have them at both 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. so that participants in all time zones can hear the recording. We post the schedule for these special sessions well in advance.
