Sabbath Bulletin for 2/7/2026

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for the LORD to help us endure through times of spiritual attack for the good of His Kingdom and the glory of His name! Pray for healing among our members and their families, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

First Fruits Ministries will come together for the LORD's weekly Sabbath celebration, a Holy Convocation day, on 2/7/2026 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 and online segment, Pastor Andrew J. Manuse will present a message on "Prayer" to help the community prepare to co-host the ecumenical Southern NH Regional Nights of United Extraordinary Prayer & Worship as part of the New England Revival Covenant as well as for the upcoming Spring Feasts of the LORD.

The Bridge Fellowship in Brenham, TX, has begun releasing video archives of the messages given during the revival conference, "Raise the Standard," which was held in Brenham, Texas, from 1/15-17/2026.

• Pastor Daniel's Sabbath message for the conference was called "the Narrow Path." If you listen to nothing else from anyone else, please listen to this and make sure that you listen to the whole thing beginning to end. This is one of the most important messages ever preached, and it is life to you.
• Here's Pastor Mike Sutcliffe's message, called "Spiritual Stillborns," about true discipleship in the Body of Yeshua.
• Here's Pastor Daniel's 1/16/2026 message to Pastors, called, "To the Shepherds," which you will all benefit to hear.  
• Here's a Q&A with Pastor Daniel relative to key questions about the faith that took place on 1/15/2026 for early participants.
• You can also review Pastor Andrew's message, called "Linking Shields," which summarized key takeaways from the meeting and added a few important insights.

First Fruits Ministries is excited to announce the launch of WBC, a united group of Yeshua followers in love with YHWH through His Torah, guided by His Holy Spirit. Our overseeing church Corner Fringe Ministries is behind the effort to launch this new platform! You can join today and support the community from the ground up during its soft launch phase. There are plans for an official launch in February. Here are some of the many elements you will find on this new platform:

Hebrew Social Network
Feast Day Finder
Fellowship Finder
Torah Resources
Hebrew Marketplace

Join the community today!

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
