Count the Omer, ... Homer !

'Shabbat Shalom'

( Join us tomorrow at 2 PM for Shabbat and Oneg )

Happy Friday and Shabbat Shalom,


I pray you may find blessing within this video teaching on the Lord's command to ' Count the Omer ' as we prepare the upcoming Feast of Shavu'ot, ... or as many recognize as Pentacost.

But did you know that the deeper meaning of Shavu'ot/Pentacost began over 1400 years earlier when Adonai/G_d wrote His Torah on stone 50 days into the Egypt Exodus at the foot of Mount Sinai  ? 

THAT'S RIGHT, ... THERE'S MORE !

Please feel free to let us know if you may have indeed enjoyed this video teaching on the counting of the Omer, and please be sure to stop back HERE tomorrow evening for information on our upcoming SHAVU'OT/PENTACOST FAMILY PICNIC in New Castle, N.H. at Great Island Common | New Castle NH . on Saturday, May 20th at 2:00 P.M.  ... Great Island Common | New Castle NH

JOIN  US  AS  JEW  and  GENTILE  GATHER

as

ONE NEW MAN


Feel Free to Join Us tomorrow at 2 P.M. for Shabbat

OR

Come back to this blog tomorrow for complete details on the

A PRAYER of RELEASE

Heavenly Father, I release to you the burdens that I have been carrying, burdens you never intended for me to carry.
I cast all my cares upon you- all my worries, all my fears.

You have told me not to be anxious about anything, but rather bring everything to You in prayer and thankfulness.

Father, calm my restless spirit, quiet my anxious heart, still my troubling thoughts with the assurance that You are in control. 
I let go of my grip on the things I have been holding onto,
with open hands I come to You.

I release to Your will, all that I am trying to manipulate,
I release to Your authority all that I am trying to control;
I release to your timing all that I have been striving to make happen.

I THANK YOU for Your promise to sustain me, preserve me, and guard all I have entrusted to Your keeping.
Protect my heart and mind with your peace that passes all  understanding.

And Father, May YOUR WILL BE DONE in our lives,
in YOUR time, and in YOUR way.
.... in Jesus' Holy Name

A Mid-Week MANNA Moment


Shalom and BlessingZ

( a midweek Manna moment )



Happy Tuesday Brothers and Sisters !

I pray you may find blessing and encouragement in today's short 'MANNA MOMENT'. 

The WORLD we are 'called out of' is indeed a experiencing a level Spiritual Warfar eerily reminiscent of the days depicted just prior to our Saviors second advent. It would seem that even the personal health of devout believers are a target to the evil one. Needless to say, .....   the recent loss of a total of 'EIGHT' relatives in the 6-8 weeks leading up to Passover by church Elder and brother Randy and wife Nancy is a sobering example which should cause us ALL to reach for the comfort and nourishment of the WORD and very fervent prayer.

Friends, I am most sorrowful to inform you that yet another of our loved congregants, dear Stella left us to be with our Lord yesterday after a sudden but obviously significant complication of Addison's disease. 


Indeed, dear Stella is in a MUCH better place than any of us.
Yet, she leaves her loving husband and our brother George here until they are re-united
in Paradise by the Calvary Love Promise, .... our Messiah.

Please join me and add George and his dear family to your morning and evening prayers. Let us pray fervently and steadfastly that our brother be comforted with the knowledge of where Stella now is. And that he be given the 'Strength of the Son' as he grieves the loss of his dear wife, our beloved sister in Christ, ...... Stella.

A Prayer for George

Gracious Father, ... our hearts grieve for the loss of our dear sister Stella, but we are also saddened for our brother George and their beloved family whom are also struggling with their sudden loss.

As this family each navigates their own pain and suffering, please remind them that you are ever so near to comfort them as well.
if they become overcome with sadness and fear, remind them that you do not sleep, or even nap; instead, you are always alert and available to provide the strength they need.

As they forge through the weeks ahead Father, let bthem know that YOU are the source of the healing that they need.
Please strengthen George and family if they should become discouraged.

As George lifts his eyes to You, remind him of Your Love and that the empowering presence of Your Holy Spirit is available to him at every moment of every day.

Father, though George may not be able to see it quite yet, 
please strengthen him with the knowledge that You are a God of Promises,
and that you have indeed promised to help sustain him.

Finally Father, we pray in the name of your begotten Son Yeshua/Jesus that as it was for Jesus' disciples when it came time for Jesus to comfort them,
He gave them assurance that this life is not the end, and that you have promised that believers like George and Stella will have eternity in Heaven with YOU, .....
this assurance we most fervently pray for our brother George and family.

....... humbly Yours Father, in Jesus holy name.
FCC FAMILY and FRIENDZ

More Jesus in the Resurrection

Blessings Everyone !
( Spring has sprung )

The video below is a review of some of the deeper Resurrection notes I complied this year but was unable to include in my sermon on Sunday.
I pray it may bless you in some small way.


Happy Spring Dear FrienfZ !

What a n absolutely beautiful   series of  the Memorialization and Celebration of the prophesied sin covering and salvation afforded all Believers thru the Crucifixion, death, and Resurrection of our Savior Yeshua/Jesus of Natzaret.

Together we reclaimed the rich roots of our Judeo-Christian faith and determined that if we are to believe the scriptures and our Savior 's  instructions that He would  'RISE'  in concert with Jonah's prophecy of 3 days and nights in the  (grave or belly of the great fish),  ...that if Jesus was to be in the ground for three days, ... the  ONLY way this works is for Yeshua to have been crucified on a Wednesday rather than the manmade holy day of  'Good Friday'.

Amen, ' He Has Risen Indeed' !!!   ....... and as Rabbi Paul so succinctly informed us, He rose as The FirstFruits of the Dead on the EXACT prophesied day of the Feast of FirstFruits.

AS JEWISH and GENTILE BELIEVERS continue to Edify one another in hopes of gaining the Fullness of the Early Acts Church, ....
We will continue to find MORE JESUS in Kittery Point !

On a More Urgent Note !

Our dear Family Members, George and Stella are in need of Fervent Prayers of Healing for our dear Sister in Christ 'STELLA'.
Evidently our dear Stella had a significant health set-back as she suffers with Addisons Disease.

Stella is home with her dear husband George and is is the care of the Hospice team.  Please join me in the most fervent prayer for our loved family members as they struggle with this awful affliction.

I've will be creating a  Prayer Page of this blog later today, and will post a Prayer that we might ALL be able to pray in concert through the week.
Please Join me as both Donna and I will add prayers for Stella and George and all of our ongoing congregational concerns to our personal
Morning and Evening Prayers this week. Please Join Us that we might be able to maximize the Holy goodness of Praying in Unification.
