The concert was a success! Thank you God!
Thank you Brenda and Dusty for extending your hospitality and aid in making Dwain feel welcome in our part of Florida.
His concert provided the opportunity to converse and share the joy of his music with some of our friends we have not seen in several months and those we have just met. The voice of Dwain Briggs provided soothing and inspiring entertainment to all ages of those in attendance.
This Sunday will be the final lighting of the advent candle, peace.
The following week Jaclin and designated parties will conduct a Caribbean style Christmas service at 10 AM sharp December 24. Please feel free to join us and bring a friend. All are Joyously welcome!
God is constantly planting new seeds of thought inside us for the growth and betterment of this fellowship. I am thoroughly convinced that His plans for this fellowship are to increase and enlarge our vision.
One of the signs N.D.U.F. is aligning with the universal good is through this whole process of our inception, the right people in the right position with the right talent have consistently stepped forward as a beacon of light. Thank you all for exercising your free will and accepting God's plan for you.

The 31st, New Year's Eve Day, is our fifth Sunday. We remember and honor our children and those less fortunate as we bring school supplies to our service to assist the Masons in their project

Though we are not heard nightly, we can be heard daily and we can be enjoyed weekly. It is up to each and every one of us to go forth and multiply our numbers, let us not fall into the pattern of a best kept secret, rather let us be as determined as the Coqui, to let the truth of it’s existence and place in society be heard

Friday evening, December 15, marks the beginning of Hanukkah. In English, there are at least 16 ways to spell Chanukah, including: Channuka, Channukah, Chanuka, Chanukah, Chanuko, Hannuka, Hanukkah, Hanuka, Hanukkah, Kanukkah, Khannuka, Khannukah, Khanuka, Khanukah, Khanukkah and Xanuka. The literal translation means "dedication," but the word also shares the same root in Hebrew as "educate." Any way you spell it, the meaning is still the same in our hearts. It is a wonderful Festival of Light.During the eight days of Chanukah candles shine to brighten the night, and family and friends gather to add warmth and their own light. Prayers are said prior the kindling of the candles. Three are said on the first night with the first two prayers said each night thereafter.
"Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to kindle the Hanukkah lights."
"Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who performed wondrous deeds for our ancestors, in those days, at this season."
Only the first night the prayer said prior to lighting the candles: "Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who has kept us in life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this season."
After lighting the candles this prayer is said: "We light these lights For the miracles and the wonders, for the redemption and the battles that you made for our forefathers, in those days at this season, through your holy priests. During all eight days of Hanukkah these lights are sacred, and we are not permitted to make them serve except for to look at them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for your miracles, Your wonders and Your salvations."
The holiday is filled with tradition, delicious foods—including latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (doughnuts)—games, presents, songs and the story of Judah Maccabee.
May all your celebrations be filled with the joy of the season and the love of our creator. These wonderful memories and feelings being created during this time are to be enjoyed everyday as we celebrate our relationship with God and the Christ within.
Blessings,
Fred and Kat >^. .^<
