Shabbat Service
As a Messianic Congregation, we meet regularly to Pray, Worship the G-d of Israel, Study the Scriptures, and Fellowship with one another weekly. Our Shabbat Service holds at 10:00 A.M. every Saturday, the traditional day that Jews celebrate Shabbat, at the Beth Yeshua Messianic Congregation (BYMC). Our service comprises of three parts, Weekly Shabbat Worship Service, Lunch and Bible Study
Our congregation was formed by those who came out of the former Soviet Union but boast of membership from a diverse culture which has richly enhanced our communal experience. Since we are predominately made up of Russian Messianic Jews, we continue to hold our services in English, Russian, and Hebrew.
We hold our services on Shabbat and have a mixture of traditional Jewish Liturgy, Messianic songs, Davidic dancing, and teaching from both the Old and New Testaments (Tanakh and Brit Chadasha).
The Shabbat service starts with a call to worship which is sounded by the blowing of the Shofar and typically follows the schedule below:
