Events
The Center of the Heart of Jesus is an intentional community gathering the diverse Body of Messiah to abide together in the heart of Yeshua. Grounded in the vision of the "New Man" (Eph 2), our events manifest this unity through shared prayer, heart formation, and the honoring of our diverse traditions. Join our in-person and online gatherings as we witness to Christ’s prayer "that they may all be one" (Jn 17:21).

Shalom Welcome
Experience a Shalom Welcome as Congregation Beth Sar Shalom and Center of the Heart of Jesus come together as fellow believers and followers of Messiah Yeshua. This gathering is designed to nurture unity within the body of Messiah by helping Gentile followers of Yeshua build meaningful relationships with their Jewish brothers and sisters, and by affirming for those from a Jewish background that they can remain authentically Jewish while faithfully following Yeshua as Messiah.
Rooted in the words of Yeshua— “I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17)— and the power of the Good News “to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16), this event invites all believers to grow in understanding, fellowship, and shared identity in Messiah.
Together we will:
Become aware of our shared faith in the Jewish Messiah and His unifying work
Support Gentile believers in discovering the richness of Yeshua’s Jewish context
Encourage Jewish believers to express their faith in authentically Jewish ways
Offer a living witness of who Yeshua truly is
Experience Messianic prayer and worship
Promote deeper fellowship between Jewish and Gentile followers of Yeshua

Abiding Relationships with the Holy Spirit
A morning retreat centered on encountering the Holy Spirit through Scripture, silent reflection, and praise and worship. This gathering is intentionally small and relational, creating a space where participants can feel at ease being themselves. As a community of communities shaped by many streams, we recognize that each person brings a unique story, background, and way of encountering God. The retreat welcomes and celebrates this richness, offering a warm environment where everyone can share freely.
Open to followers of Yeshua from throughout the Body of Messiah, this retreat encourages us to practice openness and hospitality and to embrace the sometimes challenging, yet profoundly transforming, work of welcoming one another in Christ. Through Scripture, worship, silence, and meaningful small‑group conversation, we will reflect on the meaning of Pentecost (Acts 2), the Spirit’s manifestations and unifying power in the Church (1 Corinthians 12), and our invitation into abiding koinonia with the Spirit (John 14; 1 John 2:27).

This gathering invites you into a warm and welcoming space where we can slow down, open our hearts, and rediscover the beauty of walking with God and one another. Inspired by the invitation of 1 John 1:3, we come together to share honestly, learn new ways of following the Lord, and deepen our shared life in Him. Throughout the day, you’ll experience guided prayer, quiet time with Scripture, and worship that draws us into God’s presence, creating room for rest, renewal, and spiritual clarity.
As we journey together, we’ll explore what it means to live out Jesus’ desire for unity—building understanding, practicing reconciliation, and learning to see one another through His eyes. Through small‑group conversations, storytelling, and intentional time for connection, we’ll cultivate relationships marked by depth, trust, and genuine care. We’ll also celebrate the beautiful diversity of Jesus’ followers, learning from one another’s backgrounds and experiences as we grow in humility, curiosity, and love.
At the heart of this gathering is a desire to reflect the life of the Trinity by practicing a way of being that is shaped by mutuality, generosity, and shared life. It’s an opportunity to listen—to God, to others, and to your own heart—and to experience the joy that grows as we walk together in Christ.
This event is ideal for anyone longing for spiritual renewal, deeper community, a clearer sense of God’s presence, or a meaningful morning of prayer and connection.
