Shabbat January 17, 2026 Our 10th Year Anniversary Or Chaim!

Shalom!

We pray that your 2026 is off to a great start! You know the old expression “my, how time flies!”, it is so true and it seems like time is actually accelerating! This Shabbat is a very special one for Or Chaim as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary as a Congregation! When Millie and I moved to Colorado in 2009 we had a calling and a vision to bless Israel and the nations from the  Front Range of the Rockies. We sensed that we were to be a bridge, linking the Messianic congregations here in Colorado with Israel and the remnant in the land. Also, as part of our calling, we were to be a bridge between Messianic believers with the Church in Colorado, with a heart to bring understanding of Israel as well as unity in the body. It hasn’t always been easy but it has been our joy to be involved in what God is doing here in our region! When Or Chaim was birthed in 2016, it was truly like having a baby (although I haven’t personally experienced it, I’ve heard stories!!), starting with the joy of the vision (conception) and yes, experiencing the pain involved in any birth. Many of you were with us at that time, and some have passed into their heavenly reward, and you have witnessed the move of God in our midst, sometimes in spite of ourselves! We are known throughout the region as a Congregation that loves the Word of God, loves to worship Him and loves people well. Come on out this Shabbat and celebrate with us, and we would love to have you folks who were part of our fellowship at any time come and say hello!

Our Shabbat service begins at 11am and we are meeting at 16800 W.9th Ave Golden. 80401. We are continuing with our theme, THERE IS MORE!, with a message reminding us of how God SEES us, and that it may not be the same as how we SEE ourselves! In my over 46 years of walking with Yeshua, I continue to marvel at how my perception of how I see myself has at times been a major hindrance in allowing God to work through me. The “little ole me” that tends to dwell on the past failures, sins and mistakes, needs to take a back seat to how El Roi ("the God who sees") wants us to see ourselves! Invite a neighbor or a friend to experience the richness of a Messianic Jewish Congregation as we worship our King. We have been blessed to have several visitors lately and are experiencing a fresh wind of the Ruach blowing in our midst. WE WILL HAVE A POTLUCK ONEG FOLLOWING OUR SERVICE , SO BRING A DISH  TO SHARE AND STAY FOR FELLOWSHIP! ALSO, WE WILL BE ENJOYING A WONDERFUL CAKE TO CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY! 

Millie and I want to thank all of you who contributed and blessed Bishop Eugenio when he was with us last week. They are well on their way to purchase the land they need to build the training center in Kenya! He was overwhelmed with the love he experienced at Or Chaim as well as the other ministries he visited.
