Shabbat Nov 5, 2022

/

Shalom!

Recently I was led to read several chapters in the Book of Acts. Especially in chapters 4 and 5, we see an on-fire body of believers, bold and unafraid in their witness, yet at the same time The Holy One is bringing judgement to the body (Ananais and Sapphira). Signs and wonders were happening in the midst of persecution and threats and the last verse of chapter 5 says, “And everyday, in the temple and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming YESHUA AS THE MESSIAH. I sense that this is a day when God wants to restore that exciting and God centered time from 2000 years ago except in a greater way! If He really is the same yesterday and today, I say why not!

This Shabbat November 5th we will be meeting at the Dwelling Place in Golden at 11am.The Lord has given me an important message to share looking at three major “giants” on the world scene today and how we are to see these challenges and respond in Kingdom ways. WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE AND STAY FOR THE FELLOWSHIP! At 4pm that afternoon join with us and others from around the State as we take Communion at the east steps of the State Capitol! This is the Shabbat before the elections and we sense that we are to declare righteousness and justice at this place of government. All are invited! Don’t forget to move your clocks forward on Saturday night before you go to bed!

On Sunday November 6th at 10am the men will be having their monthly gathering! All men are invited to this event as we encourage one another and enjoy fellowship with each other. We will be meeting at our home, 23696 Pondview Pl. Golden 80401, Building 6. Please bring a dish to share and remember, we are guys and we like to eat!

Ladies, you are not left out! You will be having your retreat on November 19th-21st at The Hideaway in the Black Forrest. The special speaker will be Tzofia Rogers, one of our Tikkun leaders, who will also be with our Shabbat service on the morning of the 19th. Contact Millie for more details.

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts. Or you can text ‘orchaim’ to (833) 877-2788.  You may always send checks to 23696 Pondview Place, Golden, Co. 80401.

Shabbat Shalom!

Well, the first snow of Autumn came yesterday and we had about 4-5 inches here in the Foothills! It was beautiful and now most is gone, and the warm temps are back again! I love this time of the year, as we are seeing the last of the leaves fall from the Aspens and the elk and deer are chowing down before winter arrives. As we have shared, the Feast season this year was extraordinary and we believe that some very significant Kingdom things have taken place and will be manifested very soon. Something has shifted as far as unity and the fulfillment of Yeshua’s prayer of John 17 for the body here in the Front Range, as evil agendas are exposed and the necessity for congregations, ministries and movements working together become evident. Our heart to see the Church embrace their call to “provoke to jealousy” the Jewish people is happening, so let’s continue to work to see this move forward. Also, we see the ugly scourge of anti-semitism rising too, as we witness “celebrities” and political and even religious voices speaking openly about the Jews and Israel in disparaging ways. God is moving, so let’s see what He is doing and join with His work!

This Shabbat October 29th at 11am we will again be meeting at The Dwelling Place for our service! The address is 16800 W.9th Ave, Golden 80401. We will again be looking at the war that God is waging for our nation. Have we 'shaken our fist’ in His face to the point where He is done with us? Come on out and let’s see what God says! THERE WILL BE NO ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE THIS WEEK!

Here are some upcoming events to be aware of: on Saturday November 5th at 4pm, many of us will be gathering on the east steps of the State Capitol to take Communion! All are welcome to this event as we will be also having a time of worship and declaring God’s righteousness and justice just before the mid-term elections. PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE BY TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8TH!

On Sunday November 6th at 10am the men of Or Chaim will be gathering for our Men’s meeting! These are great times of encouragement and fellowship, so please bring a dish to share. We will be meeting at my home: 23696 Pondview Pl. Golden, 80401.

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.

Shabbat 10/22/2022

/

Shalom Family!

What an incredible season we have been in! The sound of the shofar literally brought many of us into a time of encounter, deep repentance, consecration and a manifestation of joy, some haven’t felt in years! The Fall feasts have completed, but our prayer is that the “taste” and the “fragrance” of what was experienced will last for a lifetime. Adonai is summoning all of us to an elevated place, where our focus and, yes our obsession, is only to worship and obey our King, and see His Kingdom advanced in these dark days! We are in a time where “come as your and leave the same” is not an option, but only being yielded to His transformative power in the Ruach (Spirit) and walking in a new level of holiness and righteousness is what will be acceptable. God is moving, are we moving with Him?

This Shabbat October 22nd we will be having our regular (hopefully not normal!) service at The Dwelling Place at 11am! The address is 16800 W. 9th Ave. Golden, 80401. I believe that Father has given a message to me about HIS war to save this nation. Not only do we have individual and corporate anointings and callings, I believe He has a unique call and anointing over our nation that is at risk right now. We are on the cusp of either a great breakout in revival or Spiritual annihilation! I don’t see myself as an alarmist, but as someone who loves what God’s Word says and also understands when we are at a time of spiritual re-alignment, where wisdom and life choices will determine our destiny as a nation built on God’s principles. This is an important message, come on out and let’s enjoy Shabbat together! We will be blessed as Paul Myrant will be leading worship with us during the service! WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE (BIBLICALLY APPROPRIATE, OF COURSE!) AND STAY FOR SOME WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP!

Because the weather is getting colder and Gateway on Mt. Zion Church is not ready to begin renovations as they are in the midst of getting necessary permits, we will be meeting at The Dwelling Place until further notice. Stephanie Schureman, the director of that ministry, has been such a blessing to us during this transitional time! Please keep her and Bill Ress in your prayer as they have been so generous and loving toward Or Chaim! Also, we are in the planning stages of a time of Communion with others at the State Capitol on Saturday November 5th at 4pm. The Body of Messiah in the region will come together, as One New Man, and proclaim that Yeshua is Lord over our city and our nation! It will be the weekend before the elections so we believe it will be significant!

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com  and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.

Shabbat 9/17/2023

Shalom,

Have you had those weeks when it seems like we you lost a few days because of busy schedules and pressing appointments? Well, it has been one of those weeks! However, Shabbat is on the way! We are sensing building anticipation and expectation for what God is going to do during this upcoming season of the Fall Feasts, not just in our meetings together to observe these special times, but that HE wants to breakthrough in our individual lives, families and in our nation. Also, many of us have been praying specifically that Jewish eyes and hearts will will be able to see clearly their Messiah, and experience His love for them! Thinking back on my life, I had my first encounter with Yeshua and bowed my knee to him during this season in 1979! Please continue to pray for the Jewish community here in the Front Range, and fast if the Lord would lead you to do that!

THIS SHABBAT SEPTEMBER 17TH WE WILL BE MEETING ON THE MOUNTAIN UNDER THE NEW TENT, AT GATEWAY ON MT. ZION AT 11AM! THE ADDRESS IS: 166 S. LOOKOUT MT. RD. GOLDEN 80401. WE WILL BE CONTINUING ON THE THEME OF BECOMING GIANT SLAYERS, SO THAT WE ARE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ANY BATTLE WE MAY FACE. WE WILL BE HAVING LUNCH AND FELLOWSHIP FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING PICNIC TYPE FOODS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE PREPARATION, HEATING UP OR CLEANING OF DISHES AFTERWARDS. THE WEATHER IS SUPPOSED TO BE NICE, WITH TEMPERATURE ABOUT 70 DEGREES, SO COME ON UP AND ENJOY FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FAMILY! LIVE-STREAMING WILL NOT BE PROVIDED THIS WEEK.

Sunday evening September 25th at 6:30pm we will be having out YOM TERUAH CELEBRATION ( FEASTS OF TRUMPETS), as we join with our Gateway On Mt. Zion family to sound the shofar and welcome Hebrew year 5783! All are welcome to this special appointed time, as we meet under the tent and worship the King and enter into the 10 Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim) leading up to Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

Shalom Everyone!
The Hebrew month of Elul is in full swing, with many folks fasting and praying and drawing closer to their King as the Fall Feasts approach! The news media this week is of course reporting of the passing of Queen Elisabeth, who reigned over the British empire for 70 years, my whole lifetime. As far as I know, the longest serving monarch in modern history. Last Shabbat I shared about the King being in the field, a King that died for all of us, was resurrected and lives eternally, and is inviting us to live with Him in His Kingdom forever! The Queen of England lived a long life, reigned during an incredible time in history, met with so many world leaders, including every President of the U.S. since Truman, yet now she must bow before the King of Kings, the One who holds all things in the palm of His hand … Just to give a bit of perspective! EVERYONE will acknowledge who He is and see His glory! She was gracious and dignified and committed to serving her people, Our eternal King is also gracious, full of Glory and blesses us in so many ways, and His favor and his eyes are always on us and he will never disappoint us!

THIS SHABBAT SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 11AM WE WILL MEET AT THE DWELLING PLACE BECAUSE OF THE COOLER WEATHER! THE ADDRESS IS 16800 W. 9TH AVE. GOLDEN, 80401. ALSO, PLESE KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE A LUNCH AFTER THE SERVICE! I will be sharing an important message about ACCEPTING OUR REWARDS! Don’t know how it is with you, but receiving a gift or recognition for something is sometimes hard and may even feel awkward. As I have looked at the Scriptures in the life of David, the ability to receive rewards actually positioned him for his destiny as king and much more!

We hope to see you all at our Shabbat service as we worship the King, and fellowship with on a another! We will be live-streaming our service tomorrow so if you can’t make it you can go on Youtube. For giving, you can go to our Or Chaim website, and at MENU go to GIVING AND TITHING and click on the DONATE button and follow the prompts. Your faithfulness in giving has blessed many in our Congregation as well as Israel and the nations! Just a reminder, The Feasts Adonai will begin with Yom Teruah (Rosh HaShana) on the evening of Sunday September 25thwith a special service on the ‘Mountain’ under the tent!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat 3, 2022

Shabbat Shalom!
We have entered into the month of Elul. Depending on how you look at it, it is either the 12th month of the Jewish civil year or the 6th month of the Biblical year! Not to worry, it is a special time for all of us, as we prepare for the upcoming High Holy Days. Traditionally is a time of examining our hearts and inviting our king to expose any and all hindrances and sins that keep us from experiencing intimacy with our God! I sensed from the Lord as I was preparing a message for this week to explore what this important time is all about. In the Tanach, we see that it was a time that Israel’s kings would often venture out of the palace in Jerusalem, to mingle with the workers in the field and to re-connect with his people. Our king Yeshua is in the field and wants to meet with His sons and daughters! Come on up to the ‘Mountain’ this Shabbat and let's meet with the King together! WE WILL BE MEETING UNDER THE NEW TENT AT GATEWAY ON MT. ZION, 166 S.LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN RD., GOLDEN 80401 AT 11AM! Bring a dish to share and lets have lunch together and enjoy fellowship with one another!

As I mentioned, the Fall Feasts of The Lord are just around the corner and we are working on the schedule for our events. On Sunday September 25th at Sundown we will gather under the tent on the Mountain to celebrate Yom Teruah, The feast of Trumpets, with our dear friends of Gateway on Mt. Zion! Bring your Shofar and prepare for an awesome evening! Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement will be on the evening of Tuesday October 4th. Succoth will begin on Sunday October 9th, and we are preparing a special ‘camping’ adventure for the weekend of 10/14-10/16! We will be joining with Castlewood Canyon Church in Franktown where we will welcome our dear friend The Rabbi’s Son, Bill Bullock for special services. We will be giving you more information as the time draws closer.

As we will be under the tent, we will not be live-streaming, so come on up and then head out of town for your Labor Day holiday! We want to encourage to be faithful in your giving especially as we are entering this special time of the year. You can go to our Or Chaim website and follow the prompts for GIVING or mail checks to 23696 Pondview Pl. Golden, Co. 80401.

We love you all and look forward to seeing you this Shabbat!

I believe that The Lord has given me a very important message to share especially with all the ‘insanity’ happening around us. We have been learning to be GIANT KILLERS over the last many weeks and and this Shabbat we will explore and learn how to defeat the power of fear in our lives!. BRING A PICNIC LUNCH FOR AFTER THE SERVICE, AND PLEASE REMEMBER WE DO NOT HAVE ANY KITCHEN FACILITY TO HEAT UP THINGS OR WASH DISHES! STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP AND ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN!

The next Men’s Meeting will be Sunday August 28th at 10amat Bill Thorn’s home. All men are invited to these wonderful times of encouragement and refreshing, as we spend time with one another and help each other become men of God in our homes, the Congregation and our local communities. We will send out his address in another email.

Millie and I and the rest of the leadership of Or Chaim want to thank all of you for your faithfulness in giving financially to the needs of this ministry! When we began as a Congregation seven years ago we committed to support ministries first in Israel and then into the nations. We continue to do this, and as we bless those works, we become partakers of the fruit of their ministry! Israelis are being discipled and holocaust survivors are being fed and honored as a result of your giving. Orphans in Kenya are being clothed, fed and able to go to school as a result of your faithfulness in giving, and also drink clean water! Locally, we continue to work toward the building of the One New Man that will hasten the return of our Lord. You can give through various ways: You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts. Or you can text ‘or chaim’ to (833) 877-2788. You may also send checks to 23696 Pondview Pl., Golden, Co. 80401. This week we will NOT be live-streaming as we meet in the tent!

Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat August 6, 2022

Shabbat Shalom!

We are in the midst of an historically significant time for the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem. Known as the period of the Dire Straits, culminating on the 9th of Av (evening of August 6th), it is when both Temples were destroyed and many disastrous and horrible things have come upon the Jewish people, including during the Inquisition and the Holocaust. The entire book of Lamentations describes many of these events, and also prophetically speaks about the suffering of Messiah Yeshua. It is also a time when we are to cry out to our God, for His salvation and deliverance and for His protection for the Jewish people! We will be soon entering the season of T’Shuva (repentance), when we prepare our hearts for the Fall feasts and the return of Yeshua! I want to encourage you to not give up in your praying for the Jewish people, as well as the unsaved ones in your families, especially as we see the darkness and evil of this present day becoming so blatant!

This Shabbat August 6th we will be continuing on the theme of being GIANT SLAYERS, with a very practical message on HOW TO DEAL WITH CRITICISM AND FACING FEAR! Millie and I are back from a little getaway and are looking forward to seeing all of you! WE ARE STILL MEETING AT THE DWELLING PLACE, 16800 W. 9TH AVENUE IN GOLDEN, 80401 AT 11AM! We have been having some really wonderful times in the Presence of The Lord, so come on out and and join with us! Bring a dish to share and enjoy fellowship after the service with the Mishpacha!

Remember, Sunday August 7this race day at Bandimere speedway in Morrison! For those who purchased tickets, they will be meeting up with Lee Cooperman at the entrance at 11am. The monthly men’s meeting will be Sunday August 28th at 10am, and the place is still to be determined. All men are invited to this special time of fellowship, encouragement and of course food! We need one another during these difficult days, so come on out and be a blessing to one another!

Shabbat July 30th Ted Pearce!

/

Shalom!

Last week we had a wonderful time as we met at The Dwelling Place! Messianic recording artist Ted Pearce joined us for a wonderful time of worship as we lifted up our glorious King Yeshua. That afternoon, several of us went to downtown Denver and had an outreach on the 16th Street mall. Our dancers praised Adonai and as people stopped we were able to engage in conversations about the person of Yeshua, and were privileged to pray for several folks! Please lift up Igor, his wife and 2 kids who recently moved here from Ukraine, and are trying to get her parents out of that war torn country. They absolutely loved our worship and we were able to pray for their transition to life in the USA!

This Shabbat July 30th we are blessed to have Ted Pearce with us again! He will be sharing his uniquely anointed worship and also some things that God has put on his heart. This will be a great opportunity to invite friends to hear Ted and be blessed by his music and testimony! WE WILL AGAIN BE MEETING AT THE DWELLING PLACE, 16800 W. 9th AVE. GOLDEN, 80401, AND WE WILL BE MEETING AT 11AM. JOIN WITH IS FOR FELLOWSHIP AND LUNCH AFTER THE SERVICE, SO PLEASE BRING A DISH TO SHARE!

Millie and I have been enjoying a time of rest up in Wyoming in a desolate parsonage next to a little white church called Golden Prairie Community church. It is surrounded by wheat farms that desperately need prayers for rain. We are praying for them and ask you to please pray for us as we are being restored, physically and spiritually, from all of the events of the last months!

Also, many have asked how they can give through our different donation methods…You can go to our Or Chaim Congregation website https://www.or-chaim.com and at MENU, go to GIVING AND TITHING and simply click the DONATE button and follow the prompts.

Shabbat Shalom 7/16/2022

Shabbat Shalom,
Unfortunately there was a fire in the Sanctuary at Gateway on Mt. Zion early this morning. No one was in the building at the time so thankfully there were no injuries or worse. This has been the Congregational home for Or Chaim since we started. Of course, we are all stunned as we were just with church staff and the senior pastors David and DeeDee Thompson to see the damage. The good news is, they are not discouraged or in any way distracted from what God has called them to do from that Mountain! Together, we will rebuild and see God’s glory once again from this strategic place!

OR CHAIM CONGREGATION WILL MEET TOMORROW JULY 16TH AT 11AM! WE WILL MEET AT THE DWELLING PLACE AT 16800 W. 9TH AVE. GOLDEN, 80401.
WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK LUNCH FOLLOWING OUR SERVICE, SO PLEASE BRING A DISH TO SHARE! We will celebrate because we know that what the evil one meant for harm, GOD WILL TURN FOR HIS GLORY! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE TOMORROW! Oh, by the way, both Torah scrolls are still in tact and were not burned or damaged in any way!
Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
Stewart and Millie

Shabbat July 9, 2022

Shabbat Shalom!I may be sounding like a “broken record” sounding off every week about the significance of these days, but it is crucial that we are being more aware of what God is doing than being fearful of the happenings around us! Media, politicians, big tech and all the “woke” folk are telling us to "be afraid" and “be fearful" because things are spiraling out of control. Crime, inflation, Ukraine, gas prices, open borders, climate change … you name it, people are losing heart in the true God of the Universe, even among believers! You ask, what is God doing? He is exposing the corruption of a doomed world system, He is preparing a Bride for Himself, He is saving countless thousands of people around the world (Iran, China, Africa and the Middle East!), and He is continuing to heal diseases and break off demonic bondages everywhere! Need I say more? He spoke to me very clearly this morning out of the book of Joshua: Have I not commanded you? CHAZAK! BE STRONG! Do not be terrified or dismayed, for Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.” This is an encouragement for those who have lost heart, to stand firm in the truth that HE WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE HAS PROMISED HE WILL DO!This Shabbat July 9th we will continue on the theme of being GIANT SLAYERS with a timely message entitled DON’T LOSE HEART! Come on up to the Mountain and worship with us and experience the Presence of Adonai in a powerful way! Tammy Vacura will be leading worship for us so we are excited about this. WE WILL BE CELEBRATING HAVDALAH ON SATURDAY EVENING SO THERE WILL BE NO ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE! All are invited to the Crider’s home on July 9th at 5:30pm to enjoy the end of Shabbat, great fellowship and awesome food! Russ and Siri will be providing BBQ brisket, grilled chicken and some fish. PLEASE BRING SIDES OF ALL KINDS — SALAD (POTATO, GREEN, COLE SLAW ETC.), OTHER VEGGIE DISHES OR POTATO DISHES. YOU CAN ALSO BRING DESSERTS OR BREAD, DRINKS WILL BE PROVIDED BUT IF YOU LIKE SODA, BRING IT! PARKING IS ON THE STREET , BUT PLEASE AVOID THE MAIL KIOSK SPACES FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. PLEASE RSVP TO THE CRIDER’S AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU WILL BE BRINGING. THEIR ADDRESS IS: 22493 E. MAPLEWOOD LN. AURORA, 80015, AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS: (303)859-1250.

Shabbat Shalom!

This weekend we celebrate our Declaration of Independence! 246 years ago on July 4th, the United States of America was established with the signing of a document that in the first paragraph includes these incredible and revolutionary words: “We hold these truths to be SELF EVIDENT, that all men are created equal, that they are ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS …” (emphasis added). The fact that God was acknowledged as the One that gives certain rights that were never to be infringed upon, set this nation apart from all other established nations at the time. Today, we are experiencing what I would consider to be demonic attacks on these “unalienable Rights”, something that has been happening over decades, and that we as the Body of Messiah must stand against before we lose them altogether! We are thankful for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but also realize that the battle here in Colorado is far from over as the legislature has passed a bill allowing abortion up until birth! Our Creator, the King of the Universe, has given us Rights but we have to fight with the “full armor of God” so that evil will be exposed and that His Kingdom will advance in our city, State and into our nation! Celebrate this weekend and pray with faith that righteousness and justice will be re-established in this land, darkness will continue to be exposed and that this nation will be a beacon of light once again to the world!

This Shabbat July 2nd we will be continuing with the theme of being Giant Slayers, with a message on ALIGNING WITH OTHERS. Covenant relationship with one another is so misunderstood in today’s culture of ‘convenience’ and superficiality. We will take a fresh look at the relationship between Jonathan and David, and see that because we are invited into covenant with God - we can enjoy covenantal relationship with one another! We will also celebrate the Lord’s Table (communion) during the service.

Join us after the service as we share a meal together! Bring a dish to share and enjoy fellowship and hopefully the weather will be nice so that we can appreciate the beauty of Lookout Mountain outside this week! On Saturday evening, there is an outreach opportunity around the Cherry Creek Arts Festival for those who can make it. We will meet at Cranmer Park (next to Temple Emanuel Synagogue) at 5:30pm and then walk over together to the festival. It would be great if you can make it! There will be quite a few opportunities for outreach this summer that we will be updating you about, as well as some amazing revival and prayer initiatives that will be happening in the area.

We love you all and look forward to worshipping with you this Shabbat!

Shabbat June 18, 2022

Shalom Mishpacha!

You might think that the days we are living in, I usually call them “crazy” or “insane” days, but today I will just use a Biblical term “perilous” to describe them, are unparalleled in human history, but really they are not. Throughout Scripture the Prophets and apostles describe similar times of great peril but always declare and explain for us how we are to live as overcomers in the midst of the chaos and violence surrounding us. Isaiah lays out a similar scenario in chapter 6 as he describes the vision he had and his interaction with the angelic hosts. The king of Judah had just died, the people were adrift and had wandered away from the ways of God. Three things transpired in this vision: He saw Adonai “high and lifted up” in all His glory; He recognized his and the people’s sinfulness, “For I am a man of unclean lips … dwelling among a people of unclean lips”; he received cleansing and forgiveness and a new commission! Today, with all the incredible shaking and upheaval taking place, our King and Heavenly Father is awakening His true bride, cleansing and preparing us and saying again, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” It is time for us to respond in the same way Isaiah responded, “Hineni” … here am I, send me! Yes, these are days of great peril, but we are His ambassadors to planet earth, so lets walk in His authority and power and complete the assignments He has given us!

This Shabbat June 18th we will be continuing on the theme of being GIANT SLAYERS and will be looking at the second part of Aligning with God … Remembering His Promises! A few weeks ago we focused on listening to God, and how God desires to speak to His covenant children but the problem is, are we listening? We learned how we can prepare ourselves for how to hear Him clearly, and come into alignment with Him. This week's message about trusting the promises of God will be one of the most important messages we can implement. Come on up to the mountain this Shabbat, worship with us and enjoy the fellowship with each other! 

After the service, WE WILL BE HAVING AN ONEG POTLUCK, SO BRING A DISH AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE FAMILY! The weather has been great up here and it’s actually cooler than in the city! 

Next week, we will be welcoming Scott Volk, a well known Messianic Jewish speaker and founder of Together For Israel Ministry to Or Chaim. It will be a great service, so invite your friends and expect good things and fresh revelation!

We look forward to seeing all of you!
