We have several elders out of town this Shabbat and therefore we regretfully will have to cancel Shabbat services this week 1/9/10. We will resume services next week on 1/16 as normal. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
We are thankful to announce we will be meeting at a new location for our Sabbath fellowship. Erik and Tara Leamon (pronounced “lemon”) of Conway have generously opened their home for us to use (see directions below). This will be such a blessing as the Leamon Home has a lot more space to accommodate us during this interim period as we continue our search for a more permanent location.
We will continue our same schedule for Shabbat as follows. We welcome everyone to come anytime and leave anytime. We have an open door policy.
9:30am – Shacharit (Morning) Prayer Service
10:30am – Reading of the Torah, Haftarah, Apostolic Writings (NT)
12:30pm – Oneg (Potluck Lunch) You can read more on our food guidelines here.
1:30pm – Sing Praises, Praise/Prayer Requests, You Be The Judge with the children
2:30pm – Drash (Teaching by Jeff Croswell or Darren Huckey)
Now that we will have space to accommodate class(es) for children, we will be planning a structured time of learning for the children during the Drash session. Until that is implemented the children will have supervised playtime.
(Do not try to google directions; they won’t get you there. Use these directions below.)
Take Hwy 25 (toward Beaverfork Lake).
You will go under the interstate and then turn on second RIGHT onto Cadron Gap (there’s a faded sign at this turn that says “Lakeview Acres”).
Take Cadron Gap for 1.3 miles. The road forks about halfway down, so you want to veer left and stay on the main road.
The house is #3 Lakeview Drive. It’s on the right and is a white 2-story w/ blacktop circle drive in front.
Turn at Pickles Gap Village onto Lakeview Drive.
Drive 2.5 miles on Lakeview Drive.

Come study the Bible with us and find out what it’s like to understand the Bible like Jesus and his disciples understood it.

The Counting of the Omer is the building of anticipation for arriving at Shavuot (Pentecost), commemorating the giving of the Torah at Sinai. We prepare ourselves for the receiving of the Torah during these fifty days by studying and discussing these “48 Ways of Wisdom” which are enumerated in Pirkei Avot as the qualities by which a person acquires Torah. We study one quality each day from the beginning of the Counting of the Omer until Shavuot. Download this pdf to use as a guideline for your family. I pray you will enjoy this as much as we have.
Are you planning on attending our first Simchat Torah Passover Seder? If so, you’ll want to be sure to download this sampler of the Haggadah (the booklet that we will use to guide us through the event) and get an idea of some of what’s in store for the evening, including a look into the Messianic implications and insights into the Passover Seder itself. This 29 page sampler will help you get a little familiar with the Seder before you arrive. We look forward to sharing this special night with each one of you!
