Shabbat 1/8/2022
/Shalom Mishpacha!
The end of one year and the beginning of another was marked by fierce winds, a devastating fire that destroyed almost a thousand homes and a snowstorm that made travel just about impossible. But we choose to say THANK YOU, FATHER, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD ALL THE TIME! Sometimes we ask God why things happen the way that they do and that is a valid question. However in the days that we are living in, I would challenge all of us to not ask “Why” but “What are you wanting to reveal to us, Father, and how are we to live and love in the midst of trying times?" We pray for those who have lost everything, we give what we can to meet immediate needs and if possible we open our homes to those who have lost their homes. Please continue to pray for the folks in Boulder County! Great revivals have often been birthed in the most trying of times and as we, the children of God, continue to look to Him for our provision, protection and source of life, revival and transformation can come out of this tragedy!
Because we had to cancel our New Years Day brunch and fellowship this past Shabbat because of snow, we will do it this week January 8th! We will meet at 11:00am in the downstairs fellowship room. Since this is a potluck, please bring a favorite breakfast or brunch dish, a salad, dessert or bread/rolls! Following our brunch and fellowship downstairs we will come up to the sanctuary for some worship and dance, and then we will share Communion together! I don’t know about you, but Millie and I sure have missed getting together with the family! All are welcome, so come on up to the mountain this Shabbat and let's set things in motion for greater visitation in 2022!
Men of Or Chaim! Our upcoming Men’s Advance at the Hideaway Inn will be on Friday January 21st through Saturday the 22nd. The cost is only $135 and this includes accommodation, great meals and our special speaker, Chuck Steckler. Please bring your payment this Shabbat and if you are writing a check, make it out to Or Chaim and in the memo portion write Men’s Advance. Also, you can go to our website to ‘tithes and offerings’, follow the prompt to ‘other’ and designate for Men’s Advance. This will be a wonderful time of fellowship and impartation and, Ladies, fear not, we will have an awesome special service for you on the Mountain!
Blessings and Shalom for 2022!
Stewart and Millie
