MAGEVET in Concert January 8th
Jewish a capella choir from Yale University a first

On Monday, January 8th at 7pm, B'rit Hadasha will host Magevet, the Jewish a cappella choir from Yale University, for a concert of Jewish music you don't want to miss. The 17-member choir will feature Jewish music from around the world, including pieces in Yiddish and Ladino.

They are currently on a tour of the Southern U.S., and will also be performing for other area Jewish groups. They have two albums on cd that will be available for sale that evening. The event is free and open to the public. This event is a "double-first" in that is the first time the congregation has played host to a non-Messianic group, and it is the first time that Magevet has performed in a Messianic Jewish congregation. B'rit Hadasha is honored to have such a group here and we look forward to a wonderful evening of quality Jewish music.

2007: Celebrating 25 Years of Ministry

2007 will prove to be a significant year for B'rit Hadasha as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. While exact plans for a corporate event are still underway, you can expect the celebration to last year-long. More details will come as they are available.

Meet Our Mishpocha: Mark & Rhonda Blessing, Liviv, Ukraine

Mark & Rhonda Blessing, along with their daughters Bria, Lindsay, and Krista, were called into missionary service in 1992 by the Lord Jesus and went to Ukraine in March 1993. In April 1994 they planted a church from a Bible study of eight new believers, and watched that grow to a membership of over 200. Utilizing Children's Sunday School, Women’s ministry, Youth Ministry, Leadership Training, and home groups, they saw many lost people come to know the Lord. They are now planting another new church and also have a deep love and burden for the Jewish people. The Blessings have a vision for what they call "Bethel House", a home for Jewish people to live in while they prepare to immigrate to Israel. The Blessings live in this house and are preparing it for expansion and renovation. They are in constant need of your prayers and worthy of your financial support. The Blessings are members at B'rit Hadasha and were sent out from here in 2004.
