Sabbath and Sukkot Bulletin for 9/26 and 10/3
Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Let us enter into the courts of the LORD with thanksgiving and praise with complete desire to dwell in His presence all the days of our lives. May the LORD hide us with Him in the secret place of His tabernacle, set us high upon the strong rock of our relationship with Messiah Yeshua, and feed our desire to rest with Him in the Way He has shown us.
On account of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles), First Fruits Ministries will NOT be meeting at 60 Bailey Ave. in Manchester on 9/26/2026 or 10/3/2026. We will be meeting at an offsite location for the Holy Days. There also will be no livestream service for First Fruits Ministries or Corner Fringe Ministries for either day. We will meet again in the sanctuary on 10/10/2026 and resume our livestream at that time, according to God's will.
May you all be blessed during the days of Sukkot with times of intimate worship, study of God's Word, and rest with family and friends.
The Torah Portion for the High Sabbath on 9/26 is called Sukkot (Tabernacles): Leviticus 22:26-23:44; Zechariah 14:1-21; Luke 2:1-20. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on our Bread of Life Bible study platform or on Logos.
The Torah Portion for the High Sabbath on 10/3 is called Shemini Atzeret (Eighth Day): Deuteronomy 14:22-16:17; Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12; 1 Kings 8:54-66; Joshua 1:1-18; Luke 2:21-32; Acts 1:1-14.

Eight-Day Sukkot Devotional: Take Me In
Please enjoy this devotional created by Corner Fringe Ministries Pastor Kraig Dorney. This year, our journey begins at the Holy of Holies, the very center of God's presence. We will walk outward each day from the Ark, through the veil, into the Holy Place, and then to the outer courts.
Please join us on our journey!

ALMOST Every Wednesday Bible Study
IN THE SUKKAH: 9/30
At the Coffee Factory on 10/7 & 10/14
We will be holding our Almost Every Wednesday Bible Study in the Sukkah at our regular time on 9/30/2026. We will not be meeting at the Coffee Factory this coming week. Please contact Pastor Andrew for further details via the contact us form or by registering to attend Sukkot.
Attend Our Monthly Bible Study (USUALLY ONLINE ONLY, THIS MONTH ALSO LIVE IN THE SUKKAH!)
Next Study: 9/29/2026 @7:30 PM EDT
Whether you're new to First Fruits Ministries, just checking us out, or a veteran member, we welcome you to join us for our monthly Bible study—NOW ONLINE ONLY—via Zoom (pre-registration required) and bring your questions to explore in real time with Pastor Andrew for live Bible exploration. Content will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 9/29/2026.
We will have a live study this month, since the Bible Study will be held during our Sukkot celebration on the Manuse property. Join us in the Sukkah for the in-person study this month!!! If you'd like to join please contact Pastor Andrew using the contact form or register to attend Sukkot.
First Fruits' monthly "Ask the Pastor" Bible study is the appropriate time to bring the questions you've been grappling with concerning certain Bible passages or concepts that you just can't grasp. Our goal will be to address more than one question each month. Consequently, more complex questions may not be completely answered and may require a reference to one of our ministries' sermons or previous Bible studies on the topic. Additionally, we would prefer you did not bring teachings from outside ministries for discussion, but keep questions based on topics relative to the faith that can be addressed through study of the Word of God.

Bread of Life Bible Study Platform
Brothers and sisters, First Fruits Ministries is pleased to announce the soft launch of "Bread of Life," our congregation's own Bible study platform built by Pastor Andrew. It's live now.
What you can do on the app:
- Read and study Scripture (multiple translations plus the original Hebrew and Greek and lexicons)
- Access the non-canonical texts we study together
- Join or create study groups to work through reading plans with one another.
- Study commentaries and video teachings from pastors in our affiliate network of churches.
- Ask the Pastors a question.
How to join:
The platform is invite-only to protect our congregation. All members must be approved by Pastor Andrew or one of the Corner Fringe Affiliate pastors.
Two ways to request access:
1. Text me your email address, and I'll send you a sign-up link both by email and text. This is the better option for signing up.
2. Go to https://breadoflife.firstfruits.cc and sign up on your own—I'll approve your membership and you'll receive a login email. Note: If you select this option, first, you'll have to wait for a pastor's approval, and second: approval emails often end up in spam, so check there if you don't see the email.
Importantly:
You can run this new application on your desktop, on your Tablet/iPad, on your Android/iPhone via a web browser or you can download it as an app. It's easier to download as an app on Android, and if you want to download the computer app, use Chrome. But there is a way to do it on Apple products, also, which the app itself explains in the Settings menu. Paying for access to the App store is not worth it, so we're using the back-door approach. I can help you!
What's coming:
This is a soft launch—the platform is stable and ready to use now. Over time, we'll add additional reading plans, which you can recommend, as well as discipleship and course features.
I pray this serves Yeshua and blesses you all.

Brochure Available For Evangelism
At First Fruits Ministries, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel to the Jews, restore the Torah to Christians, and reveal the love of Yeshua that unites both Jews and Gentiles into one Body obedient to God—bringing unbelievers to faith, believers to deeper trust in the LORD with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength, and making disciples of all nations, teaching all to repent and follow Yeshua, our LORD and our God.
As part of walking in this mission, we go out from Sunday through Friday each week to share the reason for the hope that is in us, and then gather every Sabbath Day to worship, rest, and be renewed in His presence. Our goal is to plant seeds and water them in the hearts of our neighbors, praying for the LORD to bring the increase in trust and faithfulness. When people respond with hearts wholly seeking God, we joyfully welcome them into worship and fellowship.
The purpose of this card is to direct people to the sound teachings produced by First Fruits Ministries, Corner Fringe Ministries, and our sister communities, and to invite potential congregants to join us in celebrating the Sabbath and advancing this shared mission. The PDF (formatted for four postcards on an 8.5x11” page) can be printed and distributed as the LORD leads. There is also a full-page version now available.
