In Leviticus 23 God told the Israels to have a time of rejoicing before Him after the crops had been gathered in and the harvest was complete.

Yeshua celebrated this Feast at the Temple, making two stunning declarations that were directly connected to the Ceremonies surrounding this Feast of the Lord.

Join us at 3pm for a time of lively praise and worship to our Creator - God our Provider - The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - Who has Provided for us a Redeemer - the Messiah Yeshua - Jesus.

You can join in the circle as we dance in celebration of the goodness of our God.

We will present teaching from Scripture that ties together the Jewish Scriptures and the Christian Bible - showing how this Feast was a time that God appointed for us to know the comfort and joy of His Presence in our midst.

JEWISH FOOD FESTIVAL - Come out at 12:30pm (for many Christians that means we are inviting you to come out right after your church is done!) and enjoy a some of the best traditional Jewish foods for sale for your enjoyment and nourishment.  MENU HERE

At 1pm and 2pm the Worship though Dance team from our Congregation will give a short presentation showing how we, follow the instruction of Scripture to worship God "with the timbrel and the dance."

Then, for those interested, our dancers will show you some of the basic steps (its not hard, even I can do it !) and you wil be invited, if you desire to join in the worship dance circle during the Feast of Tabernacles Celebration.

For those who come directly to the Feast of Tabernacles Celebration at 3pm, the FOOD FESTIVAL will reopen when the Celebration Service is done and you can stay for dinner, enjoying numerous homemade Jewish delights.

One tradition, found in Scripture, is the "Waving of the Four Species [of branches]."

Pictured here are a father and son with a collection of the four branches prescribed
in Scripture.

Waving Offerings to the Lord are a recognition that the things He has given us
here on earth, in reality, still belong to Him.

There is power to be found in humbly acknowledging our Creator and committing
to following His Ways described in Scripture.

Someone has put forth the idea that this power was the power of "The Force"
in the Star Wars movies, ... and created a picture reflecting that ...

No... the truth is there is only One who is El Shaddai (God Almighty) !

And He has revealed Himself through the Messiah -
Yeshua - Jesus - the "visible representation of this
invisible God."
