New moon of Abib greetings from Dominica to all.
It was not a difficulty at all for Bro. Mathias Francis and I to had spotted the new moon of Abib at 18:26 this Sunday evening 18th March 2018 as the area where both it and Venus was located were extremely clear. Also calling in their confirmation was Bro. Craig Massicot family of two that they sighted it at 18:32. It’s a new moon that not only the four of us have seen but will learn later the amount that has seen it https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1624507767585468.1073741967.100000787822166&type=1&l=e6fc04398e

A joyous new moon of Abib evening worship service to all in acknowledgment of the start of the biblical first month of the year from this evening sunset.

Shalom and Yahweh bless,
