The evening of Monday Sept 17 marks the beginning of Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets.  We will gather together ( the ‘called assembly’ ) that monday evening @ 7:00 pm  for a time of fellowship, Scripture reading and discussion, snacks and of course, the ‘blowing’ . . .understanding and reiterating that the ‘blowing of the trumpet’ is to call the assembly, to awaken the people, to sound the warning and to make an announcement . . .

What ‘announcement’ ?  Could it be that this marks the beginning of the ‘season of our Joy’ ?

Joy ?   The ‘Joy” that comes with the return of the Promised Messiah.

Each year is a ‘rehearsal’ of the ‘final act’ of His imminent return.

And where there is ‘rehearsal’ , there is an ‘opening night’, the culmination of all the rehearsals.

The Feast of Trumpets is the ‘raising of the curtain’ for the playing-out of the final act.

Thursday evening Sept 27 concludes the Day of Atonement – Yom Kippur . . we will meet that evening at 7:00 pm to break the fast together as a family in the presence of Abba . . . more details later . .   Blessings
