These monthly meetings the second Sunday evening of the month are intended to discuss what's working and not at Hallel Fellowship, and where we're headed next. The goal is to have a meeting agenda out a week before, so you can pray over the items.
The Zoom meeting link and call-in details are the same as those used for the weekly Bible study (see the About Us tab on the Hallel smartphone app).

The LORD's appointed times are based from the beginning of each lunar month. Learn more about the biblical basis for the monthly reminder of the New Moon.
Hallel Fellowship gathers for a time of Scripture and prayer at the beginning of each Hebrew month.
Month of forgiveness: A tradition calls for the sixth month (aka Elul) to start a 40-day period of teshuvah (repentance/turn) leading up to Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This can be a time of reflection and seeking reconciliation for wrongs not forgiven. Recent tradition calls for reading Psalm 27 daily and reflection on the 13 attributes of Adonai in Exodus 34:6-7 in the last week.

Closed since March 2024, the former St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen is set to reopen under operation of Jesus Cares 2020 Ministries. Led by Sam Ojebola, the nonprofit had run the kitchen for two and a half years before the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Sonoma County closed the facility after six decades in an effort to sell the building.
The Sonoma County health department in late July said the kitchen could prepare meals for distribution to those experiencing homelessness and people in need. That was a crucial step in the reopening.
This fundraiser seeks to fill in the remaining funds needed to make the reopening a success.

This week’s Torah reading
- Readings: Feb. 21, 2026God’s gift of the Shabbat (Sabbath) and the Tabernacle points forward to God dwelling with His people, while Israel’s golden calf rebellion shows the danger of syncretism and the need for faithful devotion to the Holy One (Exodus 31:12–32:14). Parallel passage Ezekiel 20:1–7 reminds believers that Israel repeatedly rejected God’s commandments and idolatry led to judgment, yet God acts for His name’s sake and foreshadows the future transformation of hearts under the New Covenant. Colossians 3:1–5 calls believers raised with Messiah to set their minds on heavenly things, “putting to death” earthly impurity because our true life is hidden in Him.
