Shabbat Sept 2, 2023

Shabbat Shalom!

We have been on “assignment" this week. Some would call them Prophetic acts or just kingdom business. Either way, it is something Millie and I have been engaged in for many years in various places in the world. It is when you DO something that you sense God has asked you to DO. And as you are doing, you pray, make proclamations and decrees, take communion and seal the work in Ruach HaKodesh. We were given a packet of dirt/sand from 4 locations that were very significant in historic events that advanced the Kingdom of God (Cape Henry; Red River Meeting House, Wales, and the Mount of Olives). We prayed and asked Father where we were to “plant the dirt” and He made it very clear to Millie and I that we were to go to 2 specific places. On Wednesday we took some dirt to Gateway on Mt. Zion Church at the top of Lookout Mountain, the western gate into the Denver/Front Range region. Today (Friday), we brought the rest of the dirt to Church In The City/Beth Abraham and buried it where the “cornerstone” is with the engraving from Psalm 118:22, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.” Many of you know that this church was originally one of the oldest Orthodox synagogues in the city built in 1921, it is also the geographic center of Denver! And, it is the place where Millie and I ministered when we first came to Colorado 15 years ago! Both of these assignments were incredible and we do believe there will be a mighty move of God, in our people and in our region!

This Shabbat September 2nd(hard to believe its September!) we will of course be meeting at The Dwelling Place, 16800 W. 9th AveGolden, 80401at 11am. We will be continuing with the theme of INTIMACY; GOD’S WAY OF ADVANCING THE KINGDOM with a message about the connection between intimacy, revelation and the power of God! This will be an important message so it will be important to be there or if you can’t, tune in on livestream  with our YouTube channel. We will have an Oneg following the service, so bring a dish and stay for fellowship!

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!

Stewart and Millie
