Shabbat 4/4/2020

Shalom Family!
I am quite sure that as you read this newsletter, you are in your own home and are probably feeling a bit antsy! For most of us, we are well into our second week of “stay at home” orders to stop the spread of Covid-19. You may be asking “what in the world is going on?” A worldwide pandemic, global economies at a standstill, and at least 10 million people are suddenly without work here at home. More than ever I am drawn to the promises of God in His Word to not worry or fear but to put all my trust in His covenant faithfulness and to encourage others in the same way! WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS! We are the “called out ones”, the “Kedoshim” of God!

We at Or Chaim Congregation are a strong community, even as we adjust to being a virtual “on-line” family. Our  weekly services are on FaceBook live as well as Zoom. Our leadership is in the process of checking in with all of you, encouraging and praying with all of you. We are also gearing up for Passover, albeit in our own homes, which is actually quite Biblical! Millie and I want to encourage you that if you have specific needs or requests for prayer, to contact one of our leadership team. If you are planning on having a Passover Seder in your home, please let me know and I will make sure to get however many Haggadah you will need. Our family will be videoing a Seder that you will be able to see on FaceBook on Passover, April 8th!

We want to invite you to join our Shabbat service this Saturday, April 4th at 10:30am on FaceBook at our Or Chaim Congregation page. If you are not a “friend”yet do a search and become our friend! We will also be doing Zoom and I have included the way to log on with this venue. We are doing our best to “connect”, seeing as these are days of great trial and challenges and we believe God will strengthen us bring us through! Here is the Zoom link:

We love you all and are continuing to pray Psalm 91 over you and your families! Be encouraged in Him and “linger” a bit longer in His presence than you did yesterday, worship Him passionately, and love one another!
See you in Shabbat!
Passover Blessings and Shabbat Shalom,
Stewart and Millie
