Sound a Trumpet

Articles, study materials, formal worship services, hymnals, music, prayer books, Holy Day services, and much more for the people of YHWH who find themselves disconnected from fellowship with a congregation or worshiping as an independent.
Also, good for any of Yahweh's firstfruits, whether fellowship is available to them or not. There are countless reasons why an individual or family might find themselves without a congregation with which to fellowship. All make up the body of Yeshua.

New Moons

Some do not observe or honor the New Moons. If you elect to do so, we suggest a simple service or time of study with a special meal prepared for the occasion. The following articles offer information for and against the observance of the New Moons. Each individual will need to determine for themselves what YHWH intends with regard to New Moons.

Celebrating the New Moon by Wayne Bedwell. A sermon presented on Feb. 5, 2005 that offers proof for keeping the New Moons.
Are Christians Required to Observe New Moons? by Frank W. Nelte. An opposing view that points out New Moons are not commanded by YHWH. (This article is off-site. The best way to read it is to click on the PRINT command at the top of the page and print it. Total = 18 pages.)
