Join Us for America Prays 250 & Flip Flop Shabbat

This Independence Day marks America’s 250th anniversary, and we invite you to begin the celebration by seeking Adonai together.

On Saturday, July 4, from 9:00–10:00 AM, Beth Emanuel Messianic Synagogue will participate in America Prays 250, a nationwide movement uniting believers across the country for one hour of focused prayer.

During this special hour, we will pray for:

  • Recovery – a renewed awe and reverence for the Name of the L-rd
  • Restoration – for our families, communities, and our nation
  • Repentance – hearts turning back to G-d
  • Release – freedom, healing, and deliverance through His power

Immediately following the prayer gathering, we will continue with our special one-hour Flip Flop Shabbat Service (10:00–11:00 AM) as we worship together and thank Adonai for His faithfulness throughout our nation’s history.

As we commemorate 250 years of freedom, may we remember that our greatest hope is found not in governments or institutions, but in G-d. We invite you, your family, and your friends to join us for this meaningful morning of prayer and worship.

Join us for Shavuot

This Thursday evening at Beth Emanuel, we invite you to join us for a special Erev Shavuot service as we gather together to encounter the presence and power of Adonai. Shavuot is one of G-d’s appointed times, celebrating both the giving of the Torah at Sinai and the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh in Acts 2.

Through worship, prayer, and the Word, we will reflect on the G-d who comes down and calls His people into deeper relationship with Him and with one another. As part of our celebration, we will also present a special Shavuot wave offering together before Adonai as an expression of thanksgiving, worship, and dedication during this appointed season.

Come expecting a meaningful evening of worship, encouragement, and spiritual renewal as we celebrate this powerful festival together. Service begins Thursday at 7:00 pm. All are welcome.

Counting the Omer Together: A Journey of ExpectationCounting the Omer

As we move from Passover toward Shavuot, we enter the sacred season of counting the Omer, a daily invitation to draw closer to Adonai with hearts full of expectation. Each day reminds us that redemption is not just something G-d has done, but something He is still doing within us.

Just as Israel journeyed from deliverance to revelation, we too are on a journey, growing, refining, and preparing ourselves to receive more of His presence. This is a time to pause, reflect, pray, and align our hearts with the purposes of heaven.

We invite you to join us each day as we count the Omer together. Use this calendar as a guide to stay intentional, seeking spiritual renewal, praying for breakthrough, and believing for the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh in our lives, our congregation, and our community.

Come with expectation. Adonai is moving.
