Ministry Update from Bill
Greetings everyone. Blessings to all of you and your family for a great weekend and happy Shavuot.
Shabbat Celebration
Our Shabbat celebration will be this Saturday (June 8, 2019) at 2 PM. Once again, we are meeting at the Dwelling Place on Urbane Rd. in Cleveland, TN. Make sure to tell your neighbor and, everyone who can, please come join us. As usual, we will be live streaming for those who can’t be with us in person. We hope that you’ll join us for worship and fellowship.
Special note: We will also be observing Shavuot this weekend. Instead of our typical Q & A session after Oneg, we will conduct a special service in observance of Shavuot (Pentecost). Make sure to come prepared to stay for this special time.
All the details are available at https://billcloud.com/itinerary/.
We Signed A Lease!
Just a few days ago, we signed a 12 month lease for a space in Cleveland for our congregation to call “home” – at least for a year. We are excited about the possibilities now that we know where we will be meeting on a somewhat permanent basis and, at the same time, challenged by what lies ahead. We had a very hard time finding something that was adequate, affordable and not in a sad state of disrepair. Real estate for congregational purposes is hard to find in this area for some strange reason.
That being said, we are content with the situation the LORD has led us to. The owners are believers and had been praying about securing the right tenants. They seem genuinely excited that our group will be leasing the space. This development does not come without challenges and certain obstacles that we must overcome. Our seating space will be somewhat limited (compared to what we have enjoyed at Dwelling Place) and we will have to raise money to purchase equipment that the folks at Dwelling Place have allowed us to use while renting their facility.
For instance, we will need to raise about $5000 for a PA system that is adequate for the space and that will accommodate the LiveStream. We will need to raise about $4000 to purchase pieces of equipment for the LiveStream itself in order not to diminish the quality we presently have. There are other projects that will require financing as well as some muscle and sweat. We do have some equipment that would allow us to move in immediately but we would severely limited in the quality of presentation, particularly where the LiveStream is concerned. Please help us pray about these matters and, if you are so inclined, consider helping the congregation financially, especially if you are enjoying the LiveStream. You can do this online at www.billcloud.com/donate/ (write “congregation” in the message section) or you can text to give at (615) 823-8827. You may also mail a contribution to Shoreshim Ministries at 114 Stuart Rd. PMB 431, Cleveland, TN 37312. Thank you for your consideration.
We will be sharing more information with you in the coming days about our meeting place and other related news. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep us in your prayers – lots of things are happening and some exciting news will be announced very soon. Until next time, know that we love you and thank God for you.
Shalom,
Bill&Beth,
I too am excited for your new worship home. Pray for you and Beth each morning, usually followed by study with you. I’ve done many, did “Babylon the Great”, “Messianic Birth Pangs”, just stared “Living Stones”, each are excellent. Takes me a little while as I make many notes thus stop and start often. Mornings I’m not with you I’m with Rico, also doing Monte’s Revelation study. I wish to be one of His precious stones, not a brick but s’equllah, for the Kingdom.
Shabbat Shalom!
Dan
Dan. Glad you are enjoying the teachings and thank you so much for your faithful support. Blessings to you. Shalom. Bill
OH!! Bill; I’m so thankful you have a place you can call home for a year anyway. so thankful I can watch your weekly teaching, Have a wonderful time on Sabbath, and SHABBAT SHALOM.
Bless you, Miss Jeri. Shalom to you.
Hey friends… are you planning to live stream your Shabbat services? I would have loved to observed Shavuot along with you last week!
Paulette. We livestream all of our services each time we meet. You can view them on our Facebook page or our YouTube channel. Go to either of them and like/subscribe (whatever the case may be) and make sure to get alerts for when we go live. You can also watch all the archived services right here on our “Watch Page” under Shabbat services. Shalom and blessings. Bill
Shalom Bill!,
I really appreciate the long hours of study and prayer that have gone
into your teachings and what you are able to understand and share
with us. You appear to be a very intelligent, kind, and humble person
which is so refreshing! I think you will be a very capable
Pastor/Shepherd along with your precious wife Beth and your family.
As much as I would like to, I’m not able to send a contribution at this
time. May I be so bold as to ask you to pray for me, regarding my
financial situation. I need the Ruach’s leading and Yah’s wisdom in this
area. Thank you so much for all that you do!
You and Beth, your family and Ministery are in my prayers.
May Yahweh bless you and all your efforts abundantly!
Lorraine. Absolutely, we will pray for you. We are starting a prayer chain for the requests that come into the ministry. We will make sure we pray for your situation. Don’t worry about the other – the Father will provide for our needs and we pray that He will provide for yours as well. Shalom and blessings. Bill
