Shabbat June 19, 2021

Shalom Mishpacha!

I don’t know how accurate my car’s thermostat is but the other day I was downtown and it said 106 degrees! Growing up in Southern California, that kind of hot during June was expected, but here …, WOW!! We also sense things are heating up in the Spiritual atmosphere, Father led me to Psalms 84 where David cries out “HOW LOVELY ARE YOUR TABERNACLES, ADONAI -TZVA’OT! MY SOUL YEARNS, EVEN FAINTS, FOR THE COURTS OF ADONAI. MY HEART AND MY FLESH SING FOR JOY TO THE LIVING GOD.” At this time, there is a re-awakening taking place where as we turn our faces to our covenant-keeping God, He will reveal to us that it is WE that are His dwelling place! Don’t know about you but I want the cry of all in our Congregation to be “fill this temple with more of your very Presence!” As we do this, He will lovingly cleanse us of the filth that contaminates us from living in a fallen world, and we will be that glorious dwelling for Him!

This Shabbat June 19th we will continue our month of Kingdom and Missions exposure with a guest whose testimony will humble us all as well as encourage us into seeing how awesome our God is! Tamrat was a man who went from the pinnacle of power to the depths of despair (literally, solitary confinement in a terrible prison!) where God’s love was able to reach this man in a very unique and transformational way. His testimony has ministered to multiple thousands of people around the world, a testimony of how God’s love is able to reach anyone, anywhere! We encourage you to bring a friend or a neighbor, especially young people and hear his amazing story. We will take a love offering for his ministry at the end of the service. As we have been doing recently, bring a picnic lunch and enjoy fellowship with the Mishpacha on the beautiful grounds of Lookout Mountain!

Some of us will be joining Turn Ministries for an outreach to the city on Saturday the 19th from 3pm-6pm at City Park, next to the Denver Zoo. We will also be doing an outreach to the Jewish community around Sloan’s Lake on Sunday, June 27th. ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN THESE OUTREACHES TO OUR CITY!

HAVDALAH AT THE FARM THIS SATURDAY EVENINGJUNE 19TH AT 5:30PM! We will be gathering for the first Havdalah of summer at Tom and Mary’s farm: 1029 S. Bonnie Lane, Watkins 80137. We will also be celebrating Mary’s Birthday! No gifts are required. We are planning on an Italian style dinner, so please bring something along that theme, like, lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, salad and let’s celebrate Mary's life and the end of Shabbat together! Birthday cake will be provided so come on out and enjoy an evening of fellowship, fun, food and worship!

Summer is here, lockdowns are over and there will be many exciting things happening over the next few months, so ‘buckle up’ and let's be the ‘Mishpacha’ that we are called to be!

Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
