More about Yom Teruah Feast Day Service on Saturday, Sept. 16th at 12:30pm EDT

Yom Teruah is also called Rosh Hashanah. This year it begins at sundown on Sept. 15th and ends at sundown on Sept. 16th. It is the day for sounding the shofar, which announces the coming King, scatters the enemy and awakens God's people to our purposes. Yom Teruah will be fulfilled when Messiah returns according to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. It also begins the 10 Days of Awe, a time set a part for prayer, reflection and repentance. Join us at 12:30pm on Saturday, September 16th at Antioch House of Worship, located at 4604 Cedar Bush Road, Hayes, VA 23072, or at Congregation Or Shalom in the Women's Business Center at 1510 Willow Lawn Drive, Suite 100, Richmond, VA 23230 for our live observance of Yom Teruah.

More about Yom Kippur Immersion on Monday, Sept. 25th at 12noon EDT at York River Beach and in the James River AND Yom Kippur Feast Day Service at 4pm EDT (same day)

Yom Kippur is also called the Day of Atonement. This year, it begins at sundown September 24th and ends at sundown on September 25th. The Lord requires a complete fast (no food, water or entertainment) and doing absolutely no work on this day (Lev. 23:26-32). It is the day on which God either purges us of our sins or purges us from His Book of Life, as no sin can glory in His Presence. Yom Kippur will be fulfilled on Judgment Day, as we see it in Revelation 20:11-15. As believers in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), we must focus on praying for the lost and our nation on Yom Kippur, as this is the day that God set apart to deliver entire nations from sin. It is in fact the Biblical National Day of Prayer!

We will begin our Yom Kippur observance with an Immersion at the Yorktown Beach in Yorktown, VA and in the James River at Pony Pasture in Richmond, VA at 12 noon EDT on Monday, September 25th. Our Yom Kippur Immersion in Yorktown is in conjunction with Congregation Zion's Sake. Both immersions are free and open to all but will not be broadcast. Please wear dark clothes and bring a towel and change of clothes if you join us for the Immersion. Following the Immersion, we will lead a Yom Kippur Service on Monday, September 25th at Antioch House of Worship, located at 4604 Cedar Bush Road, Hayes, VA 23072 and at Congregation Or Shalom in the Women's Business Center at 1510 Willow Lawn Drive, Suite 100, Richmond, VA 23230. Complete the form above to join us online via Zoom for this service.

More about 1st Day of Sukkot Feast Day Service on Saturday, Sept. 30th at 11:30am EDT and 8th Day of Sukkot Feast Day Service on Saturday, October 7th at 11:30am EDT

Sukkot begins at sundown September 29th and ends at sundown on October 7th. During this time, the Lord requires that we dwell in temporary shelters (called sukkot), enjoying fellowship with Him and each other. On the 1st and 8th days of Sukkot, God calls us to hold a sacred assembly (Lev. 23:33-43). Sukkot will be fulfilled when all of God's people dwell with Him forever with nothing to harm us or cause us to mourn (Rev. 21:1-4). Let's practice for eternity with God now! For our live observances of the 1st and 8th Days of Sukkot, join us at 11:30am on Saturday, September 30th and Saturday, October 7th in a sukkah at Antioch House of Worship, located at 4604 Cedar Bush Road, Hayes, VA 23072, or in a sukkah near Shelter #2 at Three Lakes Park located at 400 Sausiluta Drive, Richmond, VA 23227. At both live locations and on both the 1st and 8th Days of Sukkot, we will begin to pray and eat at 11:30am EDT, with the live broadcasts beginning at 12:30pm EDT. Complete the form above to join us online via Zoom.
