Shabbat 3/19/2022

Shabbat Shalom!
Purim has just finished. We celebrated together and did the spiel and ate hamantaschen. I was reminded the other day that Queen Esther and relative Mordechai prevented a holocaust of the Jewish people by exposing the plot of wicked Haman. This year, Purim 2022, our State legislature passed the most radical abortion bill in the nation. Unless those who fear God more than man speak up and expose the evil behind these kind of laws and say “No, not on my watch!” There will be consequences from our Creator! Prayer and letting our voice be heard is key. As in the day of Esther even though God was not mentioned in the book He was very much involved in the political happenings of the kingdom and a people was saved through the intervention of Mordechai and Queen Esther who had favor and the ear and heart of the King!

With war in Europe, Iran still saber-rattling in the Middle East and China threatening to take over Taiwan, we are here to be light in the darkness and speak truth in love when hate is everywhere!

This Shabbat March 19th I will bring the conclusion of our series on SHOW US YOUR GLORY with a message on DIRECTION FOR LIFE! After the snow this week, the weather will be beautiful, so come up to the the Mountain and enjoy fellowship, worship and the presence of Adonai after a busy and stressful week. After the morning service, join the ‘mishpacha’ for a potluck lunch in the fellowship room! Bring something to share and I’m sure there will be some hamantaschen left!

Passover is coming Friday April 15th! As we have done over the last few years, we will be meeting in homes, so our gatherings will be smaller and more intimate. We will be letting you know more information in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! We will try to have locations in homes in various parts of the metro area, so you will be able to pick a home close to you. This will be a wonderful evening as we celebrate our deliverance from slavery and our beautiful Passover Lamb!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
Stewart and Millie
