Every week
Samba
Our set-apart day, and the one that comes every week. It is a sign between the Most High and His people throughout our generations.
What we do
- Samba runs from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, wherever you are. The countdown on the home page is set to your own location.
- The service is Saturday at 9:00 AM Eastern, live on Telegram: praise, opening prayer, a welcome, Scripture shared by the assembly, the teaching, and a closing prayer.
- All work ceases. It is a day of rest, reflection, and meditation on the word.
How to prepare
- Obedience on the Samba doesn’t begin at sundown on Friday. It begins in how we order the six days before it.
- Put the phone down, wait until sundown to make calls, keep the television off. Pick up the Word.
- Prepare on the sixth day what the seventh will need, as the manna was gathered.

The appointed times
In the order they come.
Passover
Begins at sundown September 28 · September 29, 2026
A memorial of the deliverance, kept on the day He named.
“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to uSoNINI NaNINI throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.”
Exodus 12:14 KJV, as we read it
What we do
- Keep the day from sundown to sundown, wherever you are.
- Do no servile work on the holy convocation.
How to prepare
- Clear the evening in advance — not acknowledge it’s coming, but clear space for it.
- Begin putting leaven out of the house before the feast begins.

Feast of Unleavened Bread
Begins at sundown September 29 · September 30 – October 6, 2026
Seven days, the first a holy convocation, with leaven put away.
“Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses.”
Exodus 12:15 KJV
What we do
- Eat no leavened bread for the seven days.
- Keep the first day as a holy convocation — no servile work.
- Gather for Samba within the week as usual.
How to prepare
- Leaven is representative of sin. We don’t have to rid the house of every leavened item, but we keep the discipline of not eating such during the feast, in honour of our dedication to uSoNINI NaNINI.
- Shop before the feast so the week doesn’t force a compromise.

The count to Weeks begins
Begins at sundown October 9 · October 10, 2026
The counting of the fifty days starts; the first fruits are brought.
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete.”
Leviticus 23:15 KJV
What we do
- Begin the count and keep it through to the convocation.
- Give the first and best of your increase before it is spent elsewhere.
How to prepare
- Decide what your first fruits are this season — of labour, of trade, of what the year has given — and set them apart first.
Taught inThe Feast of First Fruits
Feast of Weeks
Begins at sundown November 28 · November 29, 2026
The fiftieth day: a holy convocation, and the first fruits honoured.
“Honour uSoNINI NaNINI with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.”
Proverbs 3:9 KJV, as we read it
What we do
- Keep the day as a holy convocation — no servile work.
- Gather, and give thanks for the increase of the season.
How to prepare
- Bring the first portion, not what is left after everything else is spent. He deserves excellence, not leftovers.

Feast of Trumpets
Begins at sundown March 16 · March 17, 2027
A memorial of blowing of trumpets — a signal to gather, to wake, and to prepare.
“Speak unto the children of Akobi, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.”
Leviticus 23:24 KJV, as we read it
What we do
- Keep the day as a holy convocation — no servile work.
- Gather and read Leviticus 23 and Numbers 10 together.
How to prepare
- Trumpets comes before Atonement for a reason: it is the warning. Begin examining yourself now — what needs correction, where you have drifted, what He has been showing you that you’ve ignored.
- Don’t wait until Atonement to start. The trumpet has already sounded.

Day of Atonement
Begins at sundown March 25 · March 26, 2027
A fast and a holy convocation: we afflict our souls and come before Him honestly.
“For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before uSoNINI NaNINI.”
Leviticus 16:30 KJV, as we read it
What we do
- Keep it from sundown to sundown, and do no work at all.
- Afflict your souls — this is a fast, and more than a fast. Step away from routine, comfort, and distraction, and turn inward.
- Confess your own sins; confess the iniquity of our fathers; confess as a people, as Nehemiah did.
How to prepare
- Come in already examining yourself — Trumpets was the warning.
- Be clear in your atonement and direct in your repentance. He sees beyond the surface and knows the heart.

Feast of Tabernacles
Begins at sundown March 30 · March 31 – April 6, 2027
Seven days of dwelling and remembering — and rejoicing.
“That your generations may know that I made the children of Akobi to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] uSoNINI NaNINI your uSomandla.”
Leviticus 23:43 KJV, as we read it
What we do
- Keep the first day as a holy convocation — no servile work — and the seven days as a feast.
- Remember: we were brought out, and while we were in a temporary state He sustained us.
- Rejoice. Trumpets carried urgency and Atonement carried affliction; this one carries joy.
How to prepare
- Come out of Atonement into this one deliberately: He woke us, He corrected us, and now He calls us to dwell.
- Decide how your household will mark the temporary — the assembly has not set one form for this.

Bantu New Year
Begins at sundown September 14 · September 15, 2027
The head of the year, kept in the season life returns to the land.
“This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.”
Exodus 12:2 KJV
What we do
- Gather for Samba and mark the turn of the year together.
- Read Leviticus 23 through, so the year’s appointed times are before us from the start.
How to prepare
- Put the coming feast days on your calendar before the month begins — Passover and Unleavened Bread follow quickly.
- Set aside the world’s new year; ours does not begin in the dark and the cold.
