End-of-Year Donation

Beth Immanuel is dedicated to advancing the message of the kingdom of heaven and teaching Messianic Judaism for all nations. Please remember to support the work of Beth Immanuel with a generous, tax-deductible, year-end contribution to the ministry of Beth Immanuel so that we may continue to shine our light.

The Three Campaigns
On the first day of Sukkot this year, Pastor Lancaster introduced the community to three new campaigns for 5776:

Come Home to Hudson
Oneg Shabbat
Messianic Jewish Learning Center.

We have already unveiled two of the three campaigns: Come Home to Hudson and Oneg Shabbat. Both are still under development. The details about the Messianic Jewish Learning Center remain hush-hush, but we anticipate that they will be released to the online community early in 2016. All three campaigns need your help and participation. Help us accomplish this great work. Promote the campaigns to your friends and family as we release the details, and support Beth Immanuel financially in these kingdom-building endeavors.

Chanukah Party

This year at Chanukah, we will celebrate our bar mitzvah as a congregation—thirteen years since our first services during the Chanukah of 2002. Join the fun at our annual Chanukah party. Click here for your invitation.

Star of Messiah

Aaron Eby’s popular presentation on the star of Bethlehem, “Star of Messiah,” will take place at the Plugged In service on Wednesday, Dec 16, at 7:00 PM. Please invite your friends. If you can’t attend, you can still get a copy of the presentation through First Fruits of Zion.

Apocalypse of John

Beth Immanuel Plugged In services take place on Wednesday nights. Join us every Wednesday at 7pm for music, a children's program, and Pastor Lancaster’s new teaching series Apocalypse of John.

Back from China

Pastor Lancaster has returned from his teaching trip to China where he and Boaz Michael presented teachings in support of the release of Chinese versions of HaYesod and Holy Epistle to the Galatians. Read about their adventures in these online articles about the China trip.

Parsonage Purchase

Beth Immanuel is attempting to secure a mortgage to purchase a house adjacent to our property for use as a Beth Immanuel parsonage. The parsonage will be used to house Pastor Troy Mitchell’s family, as a hospitality center (Sabbath House) for hosting Sabbath meals and Sabbath guests, and housing for Messianic Bible School students. We are scheduled to close on the property in the first week of January. Pray for success and blessing in this effort. Participate in the project with a generous year-end donation to Beth Immanuel.
