Our Plans for the Coming Weekend

There is alot happening in the local Messianic world this coming weekend and we just want everyone to know what's going on with little ole Shomrei Brit over the Holy Days. Our plan is to go down to Waco with Mishkan Etz Chaim for the Sabbath and share their program. So, that means that we won't be having any services at Shomrei Brit. We will not be staying over Saturday night.

Sunday afternoon we will be meeting with Michael and Teresa Arra in their baby dedication being held in Hurst. There is an announcement of this event on the Shomreibrit.org website. The Messianic community is invited. They will be ending their program at 5pm. We will want to look out for the new moon. I don't know if we will just go back home to do that or if there are others who might be there who have an interest. We would look forward to sharing this with other believers.

Monday we plan to spend at our home celebrating Yom Teruah. We know of a few folks who plan to join us. Any believers in the community are welcome. Please give us a call if you plan to join us just so we know how to plan. We don't have any "service" planned. We just plan to have a holy convocation and recognize this mo'ed commanded by YHVH.

I have heard some folks talking about siting the moon on Saturday night. While I guess this is remotely possible, the moon will be less than 1% visible in Eretz Israel and this would be our point of reference for setting the mo'ed. If you are interested in understanding the moon visibility issue for yourself, let me recommend to you this US Naval Observatory website:

Finally, we plan to spend Yom Kippur, which we believe will be on October 4 (starting the previous evening), at our home. This will be a quiet time of prayer and meditation without the usual feasting that goes on over here. If you would like to join us in that, you are surely welcome. Once again, please give us a call to let us know how to plan.
