Feathered Foray

By
This week has seen one of the items ticked off my to-do list.  I've wanted to have poultry since we moved here but there wasn't enough shelter, resources or manpower to create the infrastructure required.  Trees had been planted and are now providing ample shelter, a chicken coop was gifted and I've been collecting bits of chicken wire from here and there so all it required now was a bit of initiative, which was provided in the form of two ducklings.


It may not be the prettiest or strongest structure but it will do the job just fine for now and hopefully it will be enough to keep the foxes at bay.  Four chickens have now joined the menagerie and the ducks are doing their best to keep them in check.



I do have grand plans of creating more space so that we can produce enough eggs for everyone, as well as raising meat chickens.  So many plans, so little time!

This week we also had an untimely and unfortunate death of one of our ewes.  It was quite unexpected and sad so we'll be doing some research as to the cause and how to prevent it from happening again.


It's less than two months to Sukkot, and the preceding days of Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.  We're looking forward to this special time as we come together to remember, celebrate and give thanks for all that YHVH has done and continues to do for us as individuals, community, and commonwealth of Israel.

Don't forget that this Sukkot we will be launching the inaugral pop-pop boat regatta so get your little steam boats built so you can be a part of this momentous event.  I've actually cheated and bought one but I think I could probably give this one a crack.

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could  be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community.    We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments.  Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well!  Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall.   The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide.  Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo.    Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate?  Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

Shalom with Messiah

In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
