Achayot B'Lev - Fall Newsletter

This month, we are excited to shine a spotlight on Jeanette Coanacher, a longtime member of Kehilat Ariel. Over the years, she has contributed in many ways, including creating the beautiful floral pieces in our sanctuary and leading her own Havurah. Jeanette’s love for Yeshua is reflected in her dedication to Kehilat Ariel, and she is truly appreciated and valued by our Sisterhood.
Here are some words Jeanette would like to share with us:
What a privilege to be a part of the Family of HaShem at Kehilat Ariel Messianic Synagogue, San Diego where only His Word is preached and practiced. The longer He allowed me to teach biology/geology the closer I grew to Abba, the truth of His Creation and our need for Redemption. I'm more than grateful for the 37 years of Messianic Judaism with the verse by verse adventure through Adonai's love letters to us, under the scholarly, but gentle teaching of Rabbi Kasdan, UMJC, elders, deacons, Torah teachers, sisters and other family friends and congregants. I became a Believer at age 12 in 1955, in a Baptist Church in Santa Cruz CA, where they got me used to consistent, daily, verse by verse study of The Word. Baruch Ha Shem. After graduate school at San Francisco State University I became the first female naturalist in the California State Park System up in the Redwoods, wrote a book on the plants of Baja California and edited many books, while teaching 7th grade life science for 30 years in San Diego County and traveling the world during summer breaks. I praise Adonai that I am able to serve in His Kingdom with the gifts He has given me, in our beautiful Messianic Family ......... as we each seek Him with our whole heart! Psalm 121 makes my heart pound and tears well up in gratitude.
Praying for the Peace of the Middle East, knowing it will only come when Sar Shalom returns.
Maranatha,
Jeanette Conacher
