Overnight camping on the property is open to members of First Fruits Ministries, our affiliate churches, or Fellow Fringers only.  Day visits are open to all. Anyone wishing to join us in celebrating the Holy Convocation of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret (the Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day) may come by at any time during daylight hours and stay into the evening as activities persist.

For those camping with us, set-up is Erev Sukkot / Erev Shabbat, 9/25/2026, and tear-down is 10/4/2026. Setting up or tearing down on other days is acceptable, so long as it isn't done on a Sabbath or Feast Day (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday).  Tents only — no RVs, campers, or trailers will be permitted on the property. Space is limited. Depending on interest, we may have to decline some overnight registrations.

For those staying overnight, the Manuse home will be open for showers, cooking, grilling, and whatever else is needed.  An indoor restroom will be available to everyone during waking hours, regardless of overnight accommodation, and overnight for registered guests only.

All food brought on the property must be Levitically clean, according to God's Word in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.  All behavior, attire, and interaction on site must be consistent with Yeshua's instruction, the Apostles' Doctrine, and the whole counsel of God's Word.  As a Feast of the LORD, each household is asked to bring their own food and drink offering for their own provision (sharing is certainly welcome) in the spirit of Deuteronomy 16:13-17, with one exception: alcohol will not be permitted at the feast, for the sake of all our brethren.

True love feast meals will be held on the two Shabbat/Feast Days. All who attend are encouraged to bring a dish to share, prepared before sunset the previous day.

During regular service hours on the two Sabbaths, we will enjoy worship, prayer, Scripture reading, and devotionals, along with conversational and contemplative reverence toward God within the Sukkah. There will be no formal sermons presented on these two Sabbath Days.  The other days are open for Yeshua-focused activities and family fun as the LORD directs our hearts. Stay tuned for more details.

IMPORTANT — CHURCH SCHEDULE CHANGE 

• For Shabbat services on 9/25 and 10/4, First Fruits Ministries will not be hosting services at the church in Manchester, and we will not livestream our gatherings on-site at the Manuse property.  
  
• All attendees ought to register ahead of time. Registration does not guarantee permission to attend.
