Shabbat Shalom 3/16/2024
/Shalom Mishpacha!
We hope and pray that all of you are enjoying our Spring snow event, about 14 inches here so far, and are staying warm and safe! The good news is that the snow is supposed to end by Friday morning in most places so hopefully it will not effect our services this Shabbat. We will certainly update you if things change. This Shabbat March 16th will be a very special service for Or Chaim. First of all, we will be meeting at GATEWAY ON MT. ZION CHURCH, 166 S. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN RD. GOLDEN, 80401. This is where our Congregation used to meet until the fire. Our service will begin at the usual time of 11am. We will be having an IMMERSION CEREMONY where we will rejoice as David and Hilary Cohen and Iva Kamensi will be immersed in obedience to the Scriptures as they publicly declare their faith in Yeshua!
Following the immersion, we will welcome our friend Brian Sanders as he introduces the recently finished film project, WHY STAND WITH ISRAEL. This has been a labor of love for Brian for many years and he wants to preview it at our Congregation. You will be moved and encouraged as you see and hear from wonderful teachers and leaders in the Messianic Jewish body in the Land, not just from their own experiences but what the prophets throughout the ages have said about Israel and its people. This is a MUST SEE, and we would encourage you to invite friends, family members and neighbors so that they would understand the times we are living in from a Biblical perspective! WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, SO BRING A DISH TO SHARE AND STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP!
MEN’S ADVANCE 2024 IS UPON US! The theme this year is FOR SUCH A TIME, and the guest speaker will be Greg Savitt a Messianic Jew who served with Jews for Jesus and Chosen People Ministry and who now is the Director of Jewish evangelism with Rock of Israel Ministries. The Advance will take place next Friday and Saturday, March 22nd-23rd, at THE HIDEAWAY INN, 3805 Walker Rd, Colorado Springs and the cost is $175 for lodging and food. This event will be a lot of fun as we join with men from Castlewood Canyon Church, which includes great teaching and fellowship! If you have any questions or would like to attend but can’t afford the cost, please contact Lee Cooperman.
PURIM IS COMING UP! Or Chaim Congregation will be celebrating Purim on Sunday March 24th at 5:30pm at the Aronsteins' home! This will be a fun evening of remembering the momentous events of the Book of Esther and dressing up as Queen Esther or the evil Haman, and eating ‘hamantashen’! The address is 7220 Box Canyon Rd Sedalia, 80135. You might even be a star in a Purim ‘Spiel’!
Also, don’t forget that on Friday evening March 29th we will be hosting recording artist Aaron Shust for a very special Benefit Concert for Israel! It will be held at The Rock Church, 4881 Cherokee Dr. Castle Rock 80109, and the cost is $20, which can be purchased through our Or Chaim website. The doors open at 6pm and the concert will be at 7pm. As we have been sharing, all proceeds will be going to assist Israelis who have been so impacted by the events of the last 6 months and a special offering will taken that night. This will truly be a One New Man event as Colorado stands with Israel!
