Passover Greetings in the name of the name our Risen Master.

Passover this year begins Monday night, April 10. We invite you to join us for our festival services.

As you celebrate your seder meals in remembrance of the Master, his last supper, his suffering, his death, and his resurrection, let us help you navigate through the holiday. Go to our Passover page at www.bethimmanuel.org/passover and download the pdf document titled “Guide to Passover at Beth Immanuel.” Use the other links on the page to find Passover teachings, articles, and resources. You can also download a PDF schedule containing our Festival Service Times.

Meal of Messiah

On the last day of Passover, we host a festive meal to proclaim the resurrection, talk about the second coming, and look forward to the great banquet of the Messianic Era. Our annual Meal of Messiah will take place on the eighth day of Passover, Tuesday, April 18, at 7:00 PM. Conclude the festival of Passover with an amazing night of song, teaching, food, and spiritual connection with Yeshua. You must RSVP for this meal. This is a ticketed event.

FFOZ Shavuot Conference

Fifty days after Passover we arrive at Shavuot. Beth Immanuel is again hosting the First Fruits of Zion National conference (May 28-31). This year’s conference focuses on the release of Toby Janicki’s new commentary on the Didache. Space is extremely limited, and the conference is nearly full already, so get registered with First Fruits of Zion while you still can.

Revelation Class

Pastor Lancaster’s teachings on the book of Revelation are now complete in 41 lessons. You can listen to the entire Apocalypse of John series online at bethimmanuel.org.

Come Home to Hudson Mugs

There’s never been a better time to move to beautiful, historic Hudson, WI. Now, when you relocate to Hudson to become part of the Beth Immanuel community, you will receive an awesome “I CAME HOME TO HUDSON” mug. Not available in stores, there’s no other way to get the mugs. Read about it the new mugs here, and learn about the Come Home to Hudson campaign.

Troy Mitchell in the Top Five

Last month, a poll conducted by the Messianic Times ranked our cantor and worship pastor, Troy Mitchell, among the top five Messianic Jewish Worship artists. Read about the big Messianic Times poll here. Visit Troy Mitchell’s new website www.troymitchellmusic.com

Speaking of Mitchell’s music, rumor has it that our cantor is planning to start work on an album of new songs. We are currently renovating one of the synagogue’s backroom closets to create a mini-studio space in which Mr. Mitchell can begin work on the new material.

Roof Over our Head

Last year, water damage to the flat roof over our front entry necessitated its removal. We now have a plan to replace the damaged roof with a gabled awning which will extend into the parking lot to create a carport. We hope do the work ourselves with Beth Immanuel volunteers, but we need to raise $10,000.00 to pay for the materials. Participate in the project with a donation to Beth Immanuel designated for the roof.
