Our Fellowship Gathering
We assemble on the seventh-day, the biblical Sabbath, to honor the set-apart day according to the commandment. Our Sabbath begins on Friday night with special prayers in the congregation to welcome the Sabbath, but the majority of our Sabbath observance on Friday night happens in our homes, with family and friends gathered around the Sabbath table.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
— John 14:27
On Saturday morning we come together for congregatioal services and a teaching from the weekly Torah portion. For those who want to stay around and participate, the rest of the day is filled with meals, fellowship, study opportunities, and additional prayers services. The Sabbath ends after sunset on Saturday night.
The prophets tell us that when Messiah comes, all mankind will keep the Sabbath: "'From Sabbath to Sabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before me,' says Yahweh" (Isaiah 66:23). Every time we keep the Sabbath, we experience a small foretaste of the perfect Sabbath rest that will be ours in the Messianic Era and the World to Come.
