September 9 2023, Beit HaMashiach Announcements

 

 

# Announcement Details/Script
1 Welcome Shabbat Shalom and welcome to the Beit HaMashiach community announcements. Some announcements also refer to Celebrate Messiah, which is the overall ministry that Beit HaMashiach, the Messianic Training Centre and Tikkun Olam are ministries under. Thank you for joining us in person and online. If you have any questions or prayer requests, please contact us at connect@beithamashiach.com or call 9572 5792. And if you’re a visitor, please introduce yourself to any of our pastoral care team wearing name lanyards, so they can get to know you and give you a voucher for a free barista coffee. Here are the announcements for this week, which are also at beithamashiach.com and you’re welcome to take photos of the slides on the screen.
2 Worshipping by Jewish dance A special part of our worship each Shabbat is Jewish dancing. We would love more of you to join in, so to learn with Louise, please arrive 9:30am each Shabbat.
3 Mayim Chayim We invite you to attend today’s 2pm Mayim Chayim service, in person only.
4 Volunteers needed for Tikkun Olam lunch The next monthly Tikkun Olam lunch is here this Wednesday 13th of September. Volunteers are required from around 10:30am until 2:30pm. If you would like more information or are able to help, please contact Barry using the details on the screen.
5 High Holy Days services
We invite you to attend the special services we are having for the High Holy Days. Details are on the screen and at beithamashiach.com 

This coming Friday at 6:30pm is our Erev Rosh Hashanah service, also known as Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets. Let’s usher in the Jewish New Year by joining together to praise God and hear His Word, and the blowing of the shofar! We’ll have dinner together afterwards so please bring a main course and a dessert, but remember no pork or shellfish. If possible, please bring your food in foil trays or other disposable containers, so our volunteers don’t need to stay too late, considering that the next day we have our Shabbat services. 

If you are unable to attend in person, it will be livestreamed at beithamashiach.com
6 Dr Kameel Majdali speaking at both services next Shabbat 16th September Next Shabbat 16th of September, in both services, we are having guest speaker and Director of ‘Teach All Nations’, Dr Kameel Majdali and his wife Leanne. His message in the 10: 30am service is ‘Coronation and the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.’ He will be discussing the 6th of May 2023 coronation of Charles III which was rich in Biblical meaning – it can be seen as a grand dress-rehearsal of that wonderful event, the blessed hope of the Body of Messiah when the last trump sounds – the coming of Yeshua the Messiah. And you’ll need to come along to our 2pm service to find out what he is sharing there!
