Bulletin for Sukkot 10/17 & Shabbat 10/19/24

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for our hearts to rejoice in the LORD always and that the Holy Spirit will give us the strength to always put our relationship with Yeshua and all He desires for us first in our lives. This is the Appointed Time for us to remember when God provided everything the fathers needed in the wilderness and when God came to tabernacle among us in the flesh. It is also the time for us to look forward to when Yeshua will return to dwell with His people forever.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the First Day of Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) on 10/17/2024 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH 03104 in the Sukkah that will be set up in the church parking lot for a time of rest in the LORD. You are welcome to stay longer. We will meet for worship, prayer, and a Sukkot sermon from Pastor Daniel Joseph from Corner Fringe Ministries delivered via iPad, which will be followed by a feast to the LORD and fellowship, as commanded in Torah. We may also read from the Sukkot Chol Ha-Moed Torah Portion from Corner Fringe Ministries, which is: Exodus 33:12-34:26 and Ezekiel 38:18-39:16. Another option is the Sukkot devotional from Chosen People Ministries, which is Leviticus 22:26-23:44; Zechariah 14:1-21;  Ecclesiastes 1-12; Revelation 7:1-10.

Pastor Kraig Dorney and his wife Heather Dorney of Corner Fringe Ministries have put together a 2024 Sukkot Devotional, called: "The Invitation." Please download and use this wonderful devotional. We will be reading Day 1 of this devotional together in the Sukkah on 10/17, and if you happen to visit during the other days of the week, there will be a time for going through the devotional each day during the Feast. First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries.

Sabbath Service 10/19/2024

During our First Fruits Ministries Sabbath service this week, which begins promptly at 10:30 a.m. inside the Sukkah (tabernacle), Pastor Andrew will deliver a message loosely based on the Torah Portion Readings for this week, which are called Vezot Haberakhah (Now this is the blessing): Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12; Joshua 1:1-18; Luke 24:44-53; Revelation 21:9-22:5.

This will be the last Torah Portion in this year's cycle and Pastor Andrew's last Torah Portion sermon. Following this week, God willing, Pastor Andrew will be starting a new sermon series that will be announced next week.

We prefer for you to be with us in person in fellowship, but if that is not possible, you can join us remotely by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/@firstfruitsNH/streams. We will do our best to livestream from the Tabernacle.

The Fall Feasts Are Upon Us!

The First Day of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) is 10/17/2024. As usual, you should take off of work and join us in fellowship for this Holy Convocation Day as well as for Shemini Atzaret (the Eighth Day of Tabernacles) on 10/24/24.

Please download the Sukkot devotional from Corner Fringe Ministries this year, called "The Invitation," written by Kraig and Heather Dorney. We will be reading from this devotional on the days we are together.

We will be setting up a 20'x16' Sukkah in the Congregation's parking lot for Sukkot this year from 10/17 through 10/24 (to be taken down on the 25th), and Pastor Andrew will spend time there every day. The 10/17 and 10/19 and possibly the 10/24 convocations will be held in the Sukkah (Tabernacle) in the parking lot, and we will gather there as if we are in the building and practice similar activities. You are welcome to join Pastor Andrew on the other days for fellowship, for prayer, or for a meal, and if he isn't there, please feel free to enjoy the presence of the LORD during this Holy Festival and spend time in fellowship inside the Sukkah with whomever else is present. If you have ideas on how to bring people who are not of our congregation into the Sukkah to celebrate with us, as the LORD commands in His Word, please let Pastor Andrew know. Please also let Pastor Andrew know if you can help him tear down on the 25th.

Feel free to also download our guide for the 2025 feast days so you can prepare for the Spring feasts that are just around the corner.
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
