Greetings online Friends and Kindred,
Yesterday was our last day in celebration of the feast of unleavened bread and was the Holy Convocation of the 21st day at evening into the 22nd day of the month sabbath according to our churches liturgical calendar.
Here are some links to the messages from both Sabbaths:
Preparing for Communion at Christ’s Table (2025)  |
Handling the Knowledge of God (A 3 fold use of the feasts: Liturgical, Moral & Spiritual)
Worship from First Sabbath of the feast of unleavened bread 2025
John 6: The True Bread of Life
Worship from the Last Sabbath of the feast of unleavened bread 2025
The Day of Passover (Paschal feast) is held on the 14th day of the lunar month in the first agricultural month where Abib / barley is found in the churches region, this means our New Year and Month began on the day of the New Moon dated this year on the 27th of April 2025, the day of Passover thereby coming about fourteen days after.
Our liturgical feast calendar is ecclesiastically set by the men of the church who serve as elders of our general presbytery regionally and can be found with the sabbaths, new moons and feast days at this link:

We had a great time of communion in fellowship with other kindred who came to keep the Passover unto the LORD Christ in memorial of his glorious passion: life, death and resurrection.
We celebrate our yearly communion service after the Passover meal is eaten, and our hunger has been satisfied with the meal prescribed by the LORD himself.
This is how the feast of Unleavened bread is begun, with the Passover on the 14th day of preparation, and ending as the day of preparation transitions into the Sabbath of unleavened bread that evening becoming night.
We keep that night with gladness and solemnity, joy and refreshment, while the death of Christ was for the uncertain disciples solemn and sad, as was the first Passover leaving Egypt, the Christian Pascha is not so, for we know the Will of God and the Power of His Christ that his death was but the means to the conquering of death in the resurrection!
On the Sabbath we worshiped the Lord in morning and evening worship and studying Scripture.
All week our families are encouraged to worship together about their daily duties and work and to remember by feasting on unleavened bread the body of Christ, and the time in which He walked about taking meals with His Disciples in His Resurrected flesh, till we come again to worship together on the Holy Convocation to end this special festivity.
In reflecting on this past year,
Re-Newed Covenant Ministry has received many new signups and listeners over this past year through our official website and blog posts, and while we do not expect this Ministry to ever be popular in the modern society, we are pleased to see growth online in outreach.
Also, due to the efforts of many of our men working together from our regional Church “Kindred Hope Church of Appalachia” we have also developed a YouTube channel where our monthly Convocation for the New Moon fellowship have been aired for a live presentation of Worship for those who would like a taste of what we are about and how we worship.
Rev. JS Lowther is pleased to acknowledge that His second oldest Daughter Emmah has come to the biblical age of accountability and was Baptized into Christ as a Covenant Child now confessed as a member of the body of Christ and our church this year; Likewise we have also baptized 3 other members into Christ as covenantal adult members of the church this year as well, all of which were able to be in attendance and celebrate their first Communion of the New Covenant with the Bread and Wine.
I am also pleased to announce that we have 2 babies soon to be born into the world to our covenant community in the next few months, nothing is more exciting than birth and rebirth, life and eternal life.
As Minister and Pastor this is what life is about, seeing individuals grow in grace and knowledge, seeing families find their purpose in the dark work, and encouraging growth through the preaching, teaching, order that proceeds from the Sanctified life in Scripture in our Kindred people as the Church becomes a church.
May the LORD God of Israel, YHWH: Father Son and Spirit bless all those who of a sincere heart and a sound mind of love in the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Great shepherd of the Sheep, as he be with you all- Amen!
Rev. JS Lowther
