Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you.
Isaiah 40:1-5
“Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God. “Speak kindly to Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.” A voice is calling, “Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. “Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”Dancers from Beit Yeshua, Beit Shofarot and Highway to Zion gathered together on Saturday, July 23, 2011, for an afternoon of Israeli Folk Dance. The class which lasted from 4:00 to 7:00 had 25 to 30 participants and another 10+ spectators. The class was only supposed to be two hours, but everyone was having such a good time it extended to 7:00 for those who wanted to keep dancing. A special thanks to Susan for doing our sound and Paul for taking photos from the class
Early arrivals got a little extra dance - including Patty from Highway to Zion

and Cathy Hargett (Highway To Zion)Thanks to all of you who have been a part of - and supported - Beit Yeshua over the past 10 years at our various festival celebrations, assemblies, Israeli Folk Dance classes and other events. A special thanks to those of you who continually work behind the scenes with planning, preparing, sound, photography, setup and tear-down after events. May Adonai continue to direct each of us with His Word and lead us by the Ruach Ha'Kodesh (Holy Spirit). B'Shem Yeshua (In the Name of Jesus) Even though Beit Yeshua enjoys the larger festival and assembly meetings in the Family Life Center at Covenant Bible Church in Lincolnton, we've always valued the fact that we still have the smaller home-group meetings. During the summer of 2011, we started a series where we looked closely at the 613 Mitzvot in the Torah. Doug led and facilitated the Midrash. These photos were taken at Chuck and Janice's home on Friday, August 26th. Shofarot are sounded to welcome Shabbat
