How to prepare for shabbat

​

If you are planning to visit our Messianic Congregation, here are some things you may want to know to help you feel more comfortable.

 

Regarding our community:

We are a diverse mix of people. We are made up of Jews and Gentiles; and we consist of many ethnicities and denominations.  We have one common denominator and that is, LOVE.

​

Our Rabbi (teacher) would love to meet with you over lunch or by appointment to answer any of your questions.  You can also leave a message on our phone, and he will call you back.  You will receive a 'hospitality package'.

​

We worship through ancient Jewish liturgy; worship with musical instruments, singing and dance.  We receive a weekly message from His word in a Jewish perspective by our Rabbi or elders; we bless our children, and end with an Aaronic Blessing.

​

Regarding Shabbat activities:

We offer the following:

  • Shabbat service at 11:00 AM.

  • Oneg "Lunch".

  • A women's group once a month.

  • Rabbi's corner at 2:00 pm to learn and discuss the weekly Torah reading.  

  • Davidic Dance instruction. 

  • Many opportunities to serve one another and others outside our community.

​

Regarding our children:

We are here to help guide your children in the ways of the Lord.   We offer a Shabbat School in the morning. We have a 'crying room'.  Lunch is in our fellowship hall at noon.

​

Regarding Dress:

  • Let us come into His sanctuary and His presence.  Let us come presentable, modest and clean.

​

Regarding Kosher (dietary laws):

  • We have a weekly Oneg (potluck luncheon).  If this is your first time, please come as our guest.  If you do bring food we have only two main prohibitions:  NO shellfish, NO pork.
