Shabbat Aug 19, 2023 surprise guests from Israel!

I am just loving my summer up on Monument summit! Temperatures are cooler than in the city and the views of the Front Range are gorgeous! As I mentioned in a recent blog, it helps me to get my perspective focused on Kingdom, as opposed to the insanity of this fallen world we are living in. As I write this morning, we are now in the month of Elul, the season that the King is in the field beckoning us to prepare to meet with Him. We are anticipating the sound of the Shofar, to prepare our hearts and our attitudes to gather for the Fall festivals, which remind us that Yeshua our eternal King, will be returning triumphantly to dwell with us and set up His millennial kingdom!

Join us this Shabbat August 19th as we gather at 11am at the Dwelling Place to worship together as His Mishpacha! We have special guests joining us from Israel! NO LIVE-STREAMING AFTER WORSHIP so you will want to attend to get a hot off the press update!

The address is 16800 W.9th Ave Golden, 80401. You will truly be blessed, and it is a great opportunity to “recharge your batteries” as we hear what God is doing in our lives, worship together and celebrate Yeshua, and share the wonderful good news that our God reigns! Following the service, we will have a potluck Oneg, so bring a dish to share and stay for fellowship! I want to share some important events so that you can put them in your calendar, as we are coming into a busy time of the year. We are producing a flyer that will have all the events and hopefully it will be ready soon.

On Shabbat September 2nd, Ron and Elana Cantor will be with us for the morning service. They will give us an update on what God is doing in Israel and, believe me, you will not want to miss this! On Saturday evening September 9th, Paul Wilbur will be at Gateway on Mt. Zion Church at 6:30pm! We would suggest getting there as soon as the doors open to get a seat and invite your friends to this special concert, he will also be ministering at their church service on the morning of September 10th at 10am. These events are free.

Here are the dates and times for the Fall Mo’adim (Feasts):

As I said, this is a busy season that we are gearing up for! However, the last thing we want to do is get caught up in the “busyness” so much that we miss the whole point of these gatherings, TO BE WITH OUR GLORIOUS KING! 

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 1658 Deer Creek Rd., Monument, Co. 80132  Again, we look forward to seeing all of you this Shabbat. 

I know it’s summer and many of us have travel and holiday plans, but it is SO important to gather together with the Mishpacha as often as you can! The writer of Hebrews states, "AND DO NOT NEGLECT OUR OWN MEETINGS, AS IS THE HABBIT OF SOME, BUT ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER — AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.”

Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!
