Sabbath Bulletin for 1/24/2026
Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray to our Heavenly Father in Yeshua's name for unity among our brothers and sisters at First Fruits Ministries and in our affiliated communities according to the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit.
First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day, on 1/24/2026 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH 03104 for a time of rest in the LORD. 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, we will listen to a summary of this week's Torah Portion called: Bo (Come): Exodus 10:1-13:16; Jeremiah 46:13-28; John 19:31-37. Please study these passages during Erev Shabbat (the evening before the Sabbath day) on Bible Gateway or Logos.
During our in-house and online segment, Pastor Andrew will bring a message called "Linking Shields," which will aim to synthesize the lessons learned from the "Raise the Standard" affiliate fellowship meeting at our affiliate network church, The Bridge Fellowship In Brenham, Texas. The two-day rally was held last weekend and was designed to encourage, challenge, and unite ministry leaders devoted to loving God and living according to His Commandments. The aim of this week's sermon will be to bring the whole community into the loop of what was discussed.
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. If you have not already done so, please download the Torah Portion schedule here as a PDF. Also, the 2026 Holy Day schedule is available by downloading this PDF document now. Please prepare to take off from work for all of the LORD's Holy Days.

Bible Study Reminder: 1/27/2026 @ 7:30 PM
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 either in-house in our basement meeting room at 60 Bailey Ave., Manchester, NH, or online via Zoom (pre-registration required) and bring your questions to explore in real time with Pastor Andrew for live Bible exploration. Doors will open at 7:15 p.m. in house and online, and content will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 1/27/2026.
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.

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.

Join Corner Fringe Ministries' Fellow Fringers Map
First Fruits Ministries is an affiliate of Corner Fringe Ministries, which is the leader of a council of churches that includes many members all around the world. Many of our online members feel isolated without nearby fellowship. Hopefully our Corner Fringe Ministries Fellow Fringers map will help make connections. If you'd like to be included, please email Pastor Mike Sutcliffe, the online pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries.
Weekly Prayer Meeting
Pastor Stephen Opoku, an Elder at First Fruits Ministries and Pastor for Corner Fringe Ministries, leads First Fruits Ministries' Signal Prayer group meeting each week at 9:30 a.m. on Fridays, with announced exceptions, to pray for God's will to be done at First Fruits Ministries. Please click the image below and join us for our weekly prayer meetings as your schedule allows. We use the Signal group to connect with one another in an A/V meeting at the scheduled prayer time. Members may choose to only join with an audio connection, though a video connection is also possible.
Do You Have A Testimony to Share?
Pastor Kraig's son Grant Dorney led the way in our community by giving his testimony of transformation from darkness to light and from death to life in Messiah Yeshua on 6/14/2025. If anyone else would like to give his or her own testimony after our weekly sermon, please talk to Pastor Andrew privately about your interest so he can determine whether and when you could go on camera. Understand that truly transformational testimonies have huge potential to change hearts and minds and build up God's people.
Let Grant's leadership be our guide. Please also share his story with those who will benefit from hearing it. Thanks to Grant for his willingness to lead in this way and for Yeshua for His long-suffering and mercy, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
