Passover & Feast of Unleavened Bread

Passover & Feast of Unleavened Bread

Warmest Greetings to You!

We extend a warm welcome as you join us for the 2017 Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread! Our goal at Yahweh's Restoration Ministry is to be true to the Word and to honor Yahweh in every way. We are glad that you share these same desires. Finding those who are sincere in following and obeying Yahweh in all things is like discovering a jewel in the sand, but much more precious.

The Feast is a time to focus on Yahweh and enjoy the fellowship of brethren. To get the most spiritually out of the Feast, we will have several services and Bible studies scheduled. We will have children's and youth classes throughout the Feast as well.

Plenty of time will be allowed for fellowship, study, relaxation, and recreation. The young and young at heart should have a great time with all that the Ministry offers. In Leviticus 23:40 Yahweh commands us to rejoice at His Feast, and we plan to do just that!

During the Bible studies, courtesy is to be exercised, and each should come with a humble attitude that we are all still learning about Yahweh and His ways for us.

Passover and Baptism Please note that only those immersed into Yahshua's Name will be able to partake of the Passover emblems. Scripturally, all participants are to be baptized, Exodus 12:44. Paul in Colossians 2:11-13 explains circumcision is no longer accomplished through the flesh, but by baptism into Yahshua's Name. For those interested in baptism, there will opportunities before Passover and during the Feast.

Guidelines for a Great Feast We want everyone to have a memorable Feast. Therefore we have established the following guidelines to ensure proper order and everyone's enjoyment and edification. Foremost, we are here to learn of Yahweh's will for us. For this reason we encourage all to attend the worship services along with the scheduled Bible studies and workshops. Yahweh is always top priority.

All speakers and moderators have been pre-selected. We do, however, invite brethren to be involved in other ways in the services. Please give the speakers your utmost attention and afford them the courtesy of not interrupting during their messages. If you have a question about the message you may ask it of the speaker after services. Also, try to remain seated during services. If you must get up during the service we ask that you do so quietly and in a nondisruptive manner. Please instruct your children to do the same.

Dress Code To ensure proper respect during worship times, we request that men and boys wear dress or collar shirts and pants. Women and young ladies should wear dresses, skirts that cover the knee or dress pants. If you do not have this attire for worship please come in your best. At all times, please avoid immodest shorts, sleeveless, tight or low-cut clothing. This includes modesty in the communal bathrooms.

Also, women and young ladies should cover their heads during worship (1Cor. 11:6) and men are to leave their heads uncovered (1Cor. 11:7). This includes both formal Bible studies and services.

Be Respectful This Feast is sponsored by YRM. If you have doctrinal differences, we ask that you discuss them only with YRM ministers and not go around privately to others, including in private Bible studies away from the camp. This request is to maintain sound doctrine and spiritual unity throughout the Feast. YRM ministers include: Elder Alan Mansager, Elder Randy Folliard, Elder Bob Wirl, Deacon Steve Reed, and Deacon Terry O'Neal.

High Days and Sabbath We ask that all Feast-goers, adults and children alike, respect the High Days and weekly Sabbath by remembering that these are times of rest and spiritual fellowship, Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 58:13. Please abstain from cooking or baking in the kitchen or roasting over campfires on these days, Exodus 16:23. In addition, no organized sports or hard play is permitted, including for children on High Days and the Sabbath. The gym will also be closed during these times.

Parental Responsibilities It is important that the young people have a great time at the Feast and build wonderful memories of obeying Yahweh at His special time. To ensure safety and order, parents should have their children under control and know of their whereabouts at all times.

Children's and Youth Classes Children's classes will be available to children ages 3-7 and youth classes for ages 8-12 during Bible studies and workshops. There will also be an open, unsupervised nursery and playroom for mothers with children (for ages 4 and under) during worship services.
