WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF ISRAEL

9/23/2016 - Dear readers, two weeks ago we learned of a devastating diagnosis that has struck a beloved Christian family. Nine-year-old Yohanna Klingenberg has been diagnosed with advanced sarcoma and is in the battle for her life.  This news came as a great shock, so while her family struggles with a grim reality, friends of the Klingenbergs have set up a private bank account for those who wish to make a donation in their time of need.  For those who would like to contribute, the account number is 069116, and the routing number is 091307851 at United Community Bank.  All donations and prayers are greatly appreciated. 

9/12/2016 - For all our voracious readers who have anticipated the latest release from our very own quarterly publication, The Watchman, good news: a new selection of original articles is now available to read at your leisure.   Simply click here to find our entire collection, including our most recent addition, Spring 2016.

Leviticus 23:33-36- "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. 

On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."

We are officially one month away from our upcoming fall festival, the Feast of Tabernacles!  Join fellow Israelites of like mind and faith for a week packed with church services, sacraments, music, fellowship and food, all happening here, at the Church of Israel.  It all begins on September 15th, so mark your calendars and prepare for an edifying experience in celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

05/12/2016 - Good morning all! What are your plans for this weekend? Here at COI we will be celebrating the annual Feast of Pentecost, also known as the Feast of Weeks.

Deuteronomy 16:10: "And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:"

Exodus 12:14: "And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever."

Acts 2:1: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."

We pray that Jehovah will be honored by our efforts to keep His festival, and we hope that you will consider joining us, this upcoming Saturday and Sunday. God bless!

01/25/2016 - Being a true Christian in today's intensely charged, propaganda-polluted landscape is nothing less than challenging.  Are you aware of what is happening in the world at large?  Political and social revolution on a national scale is unrolling before our eyes while Europe faces a literal foreign invasion!  War is being waged on the status quo, and all too few are even aware.  These critical issues and more are tackled in the Fall 2015 issue of our quarterly publication, The Watchman.  We have made a select few of these original articles available to you, our faithful viewers, both for reading on our website and for download!  To access them, simply navigate to the top of the homepage and click on the Articles in the Watchman tab, then select from the options on the left-hand side of the page Fall 2015.  There you will find our most recent additions to our online library--titles such as "The Pagan Revolution"  and "Revival in America?". 

12/21/2015 - Are you and your famliy suffering from a case of CSD--CHRISTMAS SEASON DOLDRUMS??  Symptoms may include, but are not limited to: repugnance at the pervasive spread of pagan lies, depression due to the deceived state of modern Christianity,  and shame that you alone are free of the closely-woven net of financial burden entrapping your friends and neighbors in this, the annual season of TAKING.  Click here to read an informative new piece, written from a fresh perspective about this relevant issue facing the concerned Christian.

12/15/2015 - As long as our world keeps turning, crazy things will keep happening.  For every sensationalized incident that springs from the scheming of man, whether it be insane, terrifying or bizzare, we will be here to help you understand it through the prism of a Biblical world-view. The shooting in San Bernadino, California is one in a long list of jihadi operations carried out against unsuspecting Americans too apathetic to defend themselves.  "We cannot coexist with the enemy that is plotting to destroy us.  The sooner we collectively recognize this as a country, the safer we will all be."  This is an idea rooted firmly in reality, and anyone who believes otherwise needs to read Pastor Gayman's most recent installment of In the News... titled "Islamic Jihadis Strike Again". 

12/02/2015 - The racial tensions dividing our country have extended now to a new frontier--the American university.  Missouri University has fallen victim to propaganda-spewing activists and pandering media.  This is an excerpt from Pastor Gayman's scathing summary of chaos on MU's college campus: "American colleges and universities are packed with liberal, secular professors whose ideological agendas are openly promoted in their classrooms to legions of green, gullible students.  Very rarely is there a conservative professor that will be allowed to challenge the leftist scheming that is thoroughly embraced.  Few students can survive this brainwashing."   To read this article and others like it, simply click on the navigational tab at the top of the page titled In the News... and from there you can then select from a host of options.  Get clicking to stay informed!

11/16/2015 - We have added to our photo gallery a choice selection of new photographs featuring our most recent festival, the Feast of Tabernacles.  If you have never before observed one of the Lord's appointed feastdays, please feel free to browse through these most recent additions, which feature both visitors from afar and local congregants.  Perhaps you will even be persuaded to attend a future event hosted here at the COI!  Either way, get to clicking, and enjoy.
