Visiting

Welcome to our Sabbath Service

As we strive to set aside the Sabbath Day, making it different from the other days of the week, our service may feel a little different too! Here's what to expect:
We will open with a traditional singing of the Shema in Hebrew and English (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
Followed by a time of worship. You may see people grab flags and banners and wave them - we are ushering in the presence of the King! Feel free to observe or grab a flag of your own.
You may also see people engage in community dance around the congregation as the music begins. This form of worship engages your whole body, and is referred to as Davidic Dance or Hebraic Dance. Again, feel free to worship from where you're at, or jump right in and follow the person next to you. (Psalm 149:3-9, II Samuel 6:14-22)
Our service includes a time devoted to bringing offerings before the God, as well as announcements, and a main message from one of our Pastors. We often want to hear how the sermon impacted you, or what insights others had from their time with the Yahweh (God’s name, as He tells us to call Him in Exodus 6:3) throughout the week.  At times, we ask for feedback and pass a microphone through the congregation so that others can share.
After a closing prayer, a fellowship meal ("Oneg," in Hebrew) is shared. This meal is pre-planned each week, and members of the congregation have all signed up to bring something. We hope you can stay to enjoy this important aspect of fellowship and getting to know each other better.
Periodically there may be special classes, teachings or events following Oneg. These would be mentioned during announcements.
The service usually lasts 1 1/2 - 2 hours. After our time of worship and offering we have a kid’s class (ages 3 to 10) that takes place during our sermon.
We also have a teen’s youth group that meets every other Thursday evening. We have previously had a teen’s class during the sermon, but for a season we are keeping the teens in the main service.  Our teens are currently learning leadership skills and exploring ministries they can start and run.
We hope you enjoy your time with us, but more importantly, your time in the presence of God as we worship Him together! Thank you for visiting...
