Closing Rosh HaShanah at the Yeshiva of the Way
WHEN: Thursday, September 9, 2010 from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
WHERE: 526 N. Elam Ave.
INFORMATION: We will be setting aside the usual Disciple's Fellowship in order to have a Rosh HaShanah Fellowship. We will spend time reflecting, sharing, and praying as we make good use of the Day of Remembrance. We will also share our hopes and goals for the coming year. You may bring your Bible and something to make notes. BUT - please bring one penny - the oldest, dirtiest, yuckiest penny you can find. Why? For a modern version of an old tradition (tashlich). We will have sliced apples and honey - another tradition - and I'm sure Patti or Rik will have on the coffee.
WHAT: Yom Teruah Service at Valley of Blessing
WHEN: Friday, September 10th at 7:30 pm
WHERE: 200 State Street, Greensboro, N.C.
INFORMATION: Come hear the blowing of the shofars and share in food and fellowship during one of the holiest days of the year.
WHAT: Yom Kippur Service at Valley of Blessing
WHEN: Friday, September 17th at 7:30 pm
WHERE: 200 State Street, Greensboro, NC
INFORMATION: Just as Yom Teruah reveals the coming time of Judgment and the rapture of the believers in Mashiach, Yom Kippur prophetically pictures the Day of Judgment in the Last Days. We take this season to focus our attention on Yeshua and confess our sins, repent and turn our lives and our hearts toward Him. Sin is so offensive and the debt is so great that it took nothing less than the sacrifice of Yeshua Himself in order to secure our reconciliation with God. We therefore should tremble with fear before God in reverent gratitude of His mercy toward us. This season is also a time of thanksgiving for those that believe in Yeshua that our sins are forever taken away.
Because the Biblically mandated fast begins at sundown on Friday, please no not bring any food for our oneg. We will spend our oneg in fellowship without food. We do, however, invite you to attend our Break the Fast service on Shabbat evening at 526 N. Elam Ave.
WHAT: Sukkot Service in the Sukkah
WHEN: Begins Wednesday, September 22nd until Wednesday, September 29th
WHERE: We will be visiting the sukkot of our congregants for a meal and fellowship each evening.
