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.
