Our 7th year as the Seacoast Regions first Jew/Gentile Messianic Congregation lives in our hearts here at UIM as our own Exodus experience in many ways. Indeed !, alike many of you, we've experienced what can only be seen as a Great Sifting over the past year. Yet, we've seen this to be a sort of CALL from our LORD, to which we collectively say, ...
'HINENI' ... ( Here I Am, Lord ... Send Me ! ).
In preparing for a Season of Blessing in our quickly approaching 8th year (8th 'biblical year' ... beginning on Passover 'April 1st') ..
we are blessed to announce that this Saturday, our brother
Reverend Rob 'SPIKE' Henry will be installed as our Associate Pastor.
We would feel blessed if you joined us for this special One New Man moment this Saturday morning as we celebrate the LORD's Sabbath and install our dear brother along with my ordaining brother, Rabbi Henry Morse of our sister congregation Sha'ar Hashamayim of Stoughton MA.

A ONE NEW MAN PURIM CELEBRATION
( first week of March ... check back 4 details )
Purim is a joyous holiday that celebrates the deliverance of the Jews of ancient Persia from near-destruction at the hands of Haman, an adviser to King Ahasuerus. The story behind the holiday, told in the Scroll of Esther, recounts how the Jews were saved thanks to Esther, a Jewish woman chosen to be queen. Due to her courage and her role in saving the Jews, the story of Purim is named in her honor.

Second Annual
Rev. Dr. Wilbert D. Gough
' YESHUA/JESUS our PASSOVER'
Community Seder Dinner
( details coming soon ... 1st week of April )
From the original Exodus event to the death and resurrection of Jesus, Scripture consistently conveys the message that the Passover lamb foreshadowed a greater sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. The Lamb's blood on the doorposts anticipated the blood of the Messiah shed on the cross. Jesus’ Last Supper was a Passover meal that He transformed to symbolize the new covenant, and His crucifixion coincided with the festival’s timing to highlight His identity as the ultimate Passover Lamb.
Passover thus not only marks a defining moment in Israel’s history. The Passover Seder celebrated by Jews and Gentiles in the Early Acts Church relives the Hebrews Redemption from Egypt while reflecting the redemption provided thru the Blood of Yeshua/Jesus in a WAY which keeps us engaged with not only the historical narration of our Lord's miraculous work, but it drives home the FACT that our Lord's biblical Holy Days as commanded, keep us in touch with our very Personal God whom blessed us with an original faith of 'Preparation and Engagement'. Showing us that our Lord's faith solidifies His Emanuelle nature... 'God With Us'.
The convergence of these truths testifies to the Bible’s consistent and coherent message of redemption. Through ancient accounts (such as the Exodus and historically documented Passover observances) and culminating in the Gospels, the Scriptures reveal that the Lamb slain in Egypt was a precursor to the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.
