Sabbath Bulletin for 4/19 Sabbath and Seventh Day of Passover
Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to lead us in continued victory with all faith in the name Yeshua by the power of His Holy Spirit.
First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, which is also a High Sabbath Day celebrating the Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread, on 4/19/2025 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH 03104 for a time of rest in the LORD. This is a double Holy Convocation Day, so please be in attendance. Our First Fruits Ministries Sabbath service will begin at 10:15 a.m. in-house, and then we will go live for our YouTube audience around 10:30-10:35 a.m., God willing.
During our in-house-only segment starting at 10:15 a.m., we will listen to a summary of this week's Torah Portion, called Pesach VII (Seventh Day of Passover): Exodus 13:17-15:26; 2 Samuel 22:1-51; John 20:1-14. Our live service will begin around 10:30 a.m. with regular liturgy and worship. Following the sermon, we will be partaking in the bread and fruit of the vine during the Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread service in memory of Yeshua, just like He commanded us to do.
During our in-house and online segment of the Sabbath celebration starting around 11 a.m., Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present a message for the Seventh Day of Passover based on New Testament stories, called "The Lamb That Was Slain Now Reigns." Oneg will follow around 12:30 p.m. until 3ish. Read below this section for more information about our optional second service.
We prefer you to be with us in person for fellowship, but if that is not possible, you can join us remotely by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/@firstfruitsNH/streams. Please review our General Itinerary on our website for specific information about our sabbath services.

Second Service
During our second “rewind” service that will begin around 2:30-3 p.m., Pastor Daniel Joseph will deliver the 27th part of his sermon series, called "Parables," now in the fourth part of the Wedding Feast parables. Join us to watch the sermon in person at First Fruits Ministries or join Corner Fringe online at: https://www.youtube.com/@CornerFringeChannel/streams.
Spring Feast Days
From the evening of 4/12/2025, when we celebrated the Passover Seder between the 14th and 15th of Aviv, and 4/13/2025, the 15th of Aviv, when we celebrated the First Day of Unleavened Bread, we will continue celebrating the Spring Holy Days of the LORD that He commanded us to keep in Leviticus 23, among other places. Please pay special attention to the underlined sections below for our congregation's meeting days and times.
IMPORTANT: We will be partaking in the bread and fruit of the vine during the Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread service in memory of Yeshua, just like He commanded us to do. This is the only time of the year when we memorialize Yeshua's Seder meal command in communion with our brothers and sisters in the faith. Read 1st Corinthians 11 to appreciate the proper mindset we ought to have during these memorials.
We will be meeting on Saturday, 4/19/2025 to celebrate the Sabbath Day as well as the Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread, and all members and guests with willing hearts to serve the LORD are welcome to attend. This will be a High Sabbath Day. We will meet at our regular 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. time for that Feast on 4/19/2025.
Sunday, April 20, 2025 will be the Feast of First Fruits. We will NOT be meeting on First Fruits, as this is NOT a Holy Convocation Day. However, I invite you to click here for some verses to meditate on during that day. You may also choose to attend a Sunday church of your choice to spread the love of Yeshua and fellowship with other brothers and sisters in the faith. This is by no means required, but may provide a good witnessing opportunity.
The Counting of the Omer is the special time between First Fruits and Shavuot/Pentecost, a celebration when God poured out His Holy Spirit. Please click here to download a daily devotional for this time period produced by CFM Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, called "Out of Egypt, Into His presence." You may also desire to participate in Pastor Mike's daily audio devotional that will be available on CFM's YouTube Channel.
Finally, Shavuot/Pentecost will take place on Sunday, 6/8/2025 at 5 p.m. ET. This will be a Sabbath Day, so from sundown Friday (the regular Sabbath) to sundown Sunday (the end of Shavuot), we should be fully devoted to the LORD and not participating in work or any other worldly event. We will meet very similarly as we did for our First Day of Unleavened Bread celebration this year, starting at 4:30 p.m. to worship along with our brothers and sisters at Corner Fringe Ministries in Minnesota, and then we will enjoy fellowship afterward. Don't forget to also join us for the weekly Shabbat on 6/7/2025.

Weekly Prayer Meeting
Brothers and sisters, with the urging of Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries, and the LORD's own guidance, we have instituted a Signal Prayer group for First Fruits Ministries that will be held every week. This group will meet 9:30 a.m. each Friday, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please only join this discussion group by clicking the image below if you intend to be present at some of the prayer meetings. We will be using the Signal group to connect with one another via voice at the scheduled prayer time.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord shine the light of His face upon you and be gracious to you; and may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and grant you shalom!
יברכך יהוה וישמרך
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך
ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שׁלום
As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.
אָנֹכִי וּבֵיתִ֔י נַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־ יַהְוֶה
יברכך יהוה וישמרך
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך
ישא יהוה פניו אליך וישם לך שׁלום
As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.
אָנֹכִי וּבֵיתִ֔י נַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־ יַהְוֶה
During our second “rewind” service that will begin around 3 p.m., Pastor Daniel Joseph will deliver a message called, "Resurrection Sunday," which will Scripturally lay to rest some lingering questions surrounding the most important day in history.
