How to Get Involved with the Free Assembly
Live the Outward Ordinances of the Free Assembly. Every day, week, month, and season offers moments to align yourself with the rhythms of faith, purpose, and community. By following these sacred practices, you become part of an interconnected journey—balancing action, study, prayer, and rest. Together, we move through life with intention, observing ancient festivals, lunar cycles, and meaningful moments, merged with Christian traditions and modern celebrations.
This living calendar draws from the sacred cycles of ancient Israel, reflects the fullness of the Christian message, and honors the rhythm of nature through the moon’s phases. Let’s walk the path, rooted in tradition and open to growth.
Daily: Action, Prayer, and Study
Each day is an opportunity to live intentionally.
- Morning Prayer: Begin your day with gratitude and focus. Lift your heart in prayer, giving thanks and seeking strength for the actions ahead.
- Study of Sacred Texts: Reflect on wisdom from scripture or faith writings. This practice grounds the mind and aligns your actions with higher purposes.
- Daily Action: Live out your values—help someone, take a step toward a goal, or perform an act of service. Faith without works is incomplete, so each small step counts.
Weekly: Observing the Sabbath
Set aside one day for rest, renewal, and worship.
- The Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday. It is a sacred time to pause from work, gather with others, and honor the gift of creation.
- Reflect, pray, and reconnect with family or community during this time. Observe the Sabbath as a moment to align yourself with God’s timing—rest as He rested.
Sunday Worship and Fellowship
Every Sunday, we come together in community.
- Sunday Worship: A time for singing, prayer, scripture study, priesthood ordinances with administrations and fellowship. Let your faith be renewed as we gather to celebrate life, love, and purpose.
- Fellowship: After worship, connect with others—share meals, laughter, and support. The strength of our community grows through these bonds.
Monthly Observances: New Moons and Full Moons
The moon’s cycles help us reflect, set intentions, and celebrate.
- New Moon: A time for new beginnings, goal-setting, and reflection. Embrace the opportunity to reset spiritually and mentally.
- Full Moon: Celebrate fulfillment and harvest. Reflect on what has come to fruition and give thanks for blessings received.
Annual Festivals and Feasts
