Erev Shavuot Service, Party, and Potluck was great
We celebrated the day where Moses first came down Mt. Sinai with G-d's Commandments, where the Word of G-d was inscribed on stone tablets. On that same day hundreds of years later, we saw in the Brit Chadeshah (Newer Covenant) Acts Chapter 2, the Word of G-d was inscribed on the hearts of those who believe in Yeshua.
Passover 2009 was amazing
We had a wonderful evening of worship dance, going through the Passover Haggadah, great food and fellowship. We experienced how the Passover elements and ceremony speak of G-d's redemption. We discovered how the entire meal and service is an object lesson about how true redemption is found in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, the "Lamb of G-d who takes away the sin of the world."
It was our biggest celebration yet with 250 people sharing the experience.
Purim 2009 was a blast!
We had Davidic Dance, a great message, fun characters at a banquet
And Plenty of Hamentaschen!!!
Hanukkah Service, Potluck, and Party, 2008
We had a wonderful Hanukkah. We Lit the Menorah, ate Latkes, and worshipped the Living G-d with us as we learned about His miracles done in days of old, and in our lives today.
Great Message. Messianic Dance, Lighting the Menorah, Fantastic Food & Fellowship, and a lot to think about
Sukkoth Service and Potluck (Feast of Tabernacles), 2008
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt [Tabernacle] among us"
We celebrated what is perhaps the most joyous of Jewish Festivals. We discussed it's relevance past, present, and it's prophetic fulfillment in Yeshua.
The High Holy Days, 2008
We sounded the Shofar, fasted and prayed, and learned about the future fulfillment of this Holy Season.
Erev Shabbat & Shavuot Potluck Service & Celebration, 2008
We learned about this Biblical Holy Day from Torah and how is speaks of Messiah Yeshua. We also had a great time just schmoozing!
Our Fellowship's 1st Bar Mitzvah, 2008
On May 3rd our Fellowship's First Bar Mitzvah was called to the Torah. He read the parashat from Torah and even gave the message. Mazel Tov!!!
Passover 2008
We had an awesome evening where we "Beheld the Lamb of G-d who takes away the Sin of the World!." We experienced the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Messiah's message of redemption.
Purim 2008!
Purim was a lot of fun!!!
Davidic Dance Welcoming Shabbat Message Fun Characters at a banquet

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
B’nai Avraham Messianic Fellowship is a place where Jews and Gentiles can worship the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), within a Jewish context. We proclaim that Am Yisrael Chai B’Yeshua HaMoshiach, “The people of Israel live in Jesus the Messiah.”
In Genesis 12:2-3, G-d promises that He would make Abraham a great nation and through Abraham all the nations of the earth would be blessed. This promise of G-d’s blessing includes not only his physical descendents, the Jewish people, but all the other people groups (i.e., gentiles). Today, most congregations that believe in Yeshua are predominantly gentile and the cultural context is, at times, not comfortable for Jewish believers who want to express their faith in the Messiah within a Jewish context.
Come join us! Celebrate the biblical Holy Days in a messianic frame of reference, and learn about scripture from a messianic perspective. This is a place where Jewish, Gentile, intermarried, or the curious, can feel welcomed, enjoy interesting people and learn more about G-d.
We are affiliated with the Association of Messianic Congregations and the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship.
