HOLY CONVOCATION - ROSH HASHANAH
Vayikra (Lev) 23:23-25
September 9th and 10th, 2010 beginning at Sundown.
Our Holy Convocation will be held on Friday September 10th,
beginning at 6pm.
All are invited
The Days of Awe or Yamim Nora’im are the most sacred days of the Hebrew Year. Rosh Hashanah begins this year on September 9th at sundown through September 10th at Sundown. September 10 will be our Holy Convocation. For Rosh Hashanah our meal course will be apples dipped in honey and any other foods of sweet nature that would signify a sweet new year. You are free to bring foods appropriate for this meal. We will sing songs of repentance and worship and offer prayers of teshuvah (repentance).
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur – the Days of Awe or Yamim Nora’im are the most sacred days of the Hebrew Year. Awe is a loose translation of the Hebrew word nora which can also be translated as “reverence.” What does this time commemorate? It deals exclusively with the fundamental questions of human nature and human destiny and with the connection between Yah and humans, sin and repentance, and mercy and justice.
The 10-day period beginning on Rosh Hashanah and ending on Yom Kippur September 19, 2010 is known as the "Ten Days of Repentance." This is a crucial time as the Prophet Yesha Yahu (Isaiah) 55:6 mentions this day as a day in which Yah may be found. During these days it is a definite time to seek Adonai.
Rosh Hashanah is also known as Yom Teruah the sounding of the Shofar. This sounding of the Shofar is to awaken us, as it begins the season of Teshuvah (repentance). For those looking for the rapture it is recorded in 1 Corinthians 15:52 that this day will occur with the sound of the Shofar “it will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the final shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we to will be changed.”
For those who thought that Rosh Hashanah was only relative to the Jews think again. When it occurs for real, this will be the most important day in the life of humanity and particularly the bride of YeShua. We celebrate it in preparation for that day.
HOLY CONVOCATION - YOM KIPPUR
Vayikra (Lev.) 23:26-32
September 18th and 19th, 2010 our Holy Convocation will be on the 18th beginning at 1:30pm.
All are invited
Yom Kippur begins at Sundown September 18 and ends at Sundown September 19th. It is the holiest day of the year -- the day on which we are closest to Yahweh and to the quintessential core of our own souls. It is the "Day of Atonement" -- Lev 16:29-31 “It is to be a permanent regulation for you that on the tenth day of the seventh month you are to deny yourselves and not do any kind of work, both the citizen and the foreigner living with you. For on this day, atonement will be made for you to purify you; you will be clean before Adonai from all your sins. It is a Shabbat of complete rest for you, and you are to deny yourselves. For twenty-six hours, from several minutes before sunset on Tishrei 9 September 18th to after nightfall on Tishrei 10 September 19th, we "afflict our souls": we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather shoes, and abstain from marital relations.
Service Order September 19th beginning at 6 PM our Holy convocation ends. This will be a time of closing our fasting and prayer. We will have the Breaking of Consecration meal.
