Shabbat Prayer
We set the week down. We light the evening. We come before the Living God together — and nobody comes as a stranger twice.

Every Friday evening
The seventh day belongs to the King
Shabbat is not a rule we are enforcing. It is a rhythm we are recovering.
Six days the world will ask you to produce. On the seventh, the Kingdom asks you to stop — not because the work is finished, but because you are not the one holding it together. Rest is an act of trust. It is the citizen’s weekly declaration that the government is on His shoulders and not on ours.
So on Friday evening we come in from the week. We give thanks over the table. We read. We sing. We pray for each other by name — for households, for the sick, for those still finding their way in, and for the nations the Creator gave us.
Every kingdom has a culture. Ours begins on Friday night.
The shape of the hour
So that nothing catches you off guard the first time.
- First 10 Welcome and greeting We open the room early. Names, faces, and where everyone is joining from. If you are new, this is where we meet you.
- Next 10 Blessing over the Shabbat The evening is set apart with thanksgiving — light, bread, and the cup. You are welcome to keep it at your own table as we keep it at ours.
- Next 15 Worship Songs of the Kingdom. Words are shared on screen. Sing, or simply sit in it — both are worship.
- Next 15 The Word A short teaching from Scripture, aimed at how a citizen of the Kingdom actually lives the week ahead.
- Last 15 Prayer for one another The heart of the hour. Requests are taken and prayed over by name — yours included, if you want it.
- After The room stays open Nobody is rushed out. Stay, talk, ask the questions you did not want to ask in front of everyone.
Questions people actually ask
Do I have to be a citizen of the Kingdom?
No. Most people at their first Shabbat are not. Come as a guest for as long as you like — there is no moment where someone will ask you to commit to anything.
Do I need to be Jewish, or know Hebrew?
No. The Kingdom keeps Shabbat because the Creator set the seventh day apart, not as a matter of ethnicity. Where we use Hebrew, it is translated on the spot. You will not be lost.
Do I have to speak?
Never. It is a phone call — there is no camera and nobody can see you. Keep yourself muted and simply listen if that is what you need. Plenty of people spend their first few Fridays doing exactly that.
Will I be asked for money?
No offering is taken at Shabbat prayer and there is no cost to attend.
Can I bring my family? My children?
Please do. Shabbat is a household practice before it is a public one — that is the point of doing it at the table.
I have a prayer request but I do not want to say it out loud.
Send it ahead using the form below, or write to shalom@kingdomofimmanuel.com. It will be prayed over. It will not be read aloud unless you say it may be.
What if I can only make it some weeks?
Then come some weeks. The gathering is a table, not an attendance sheet.
Tell us you are coming
We will send you a reminder on Friday afternoon with the number in it, and nothing else you did not ask for.
If you would rather simply dial in on Friday without telling anyone first, that is entirely welcome too. The number is above. Nobody will ask who you are before you are ready to say.
Bring one person with you
The Kingdom does not grow through announcements. It grows the way it always has — one person telling one person that there is a table on Friday and a seat at it with their name on it.
Think of the one person you know who is carrying too much this week. Send them this page.
