Several years ago, we dreamed of the day when congregations in our city would come together to celebrate the Jewish holidays ... and this year it happened. We have been celebrating the fall holidays with House of Messiah and All Nations congregations. Above is a picture of us celebrating Sukkot in their Sukkah. Sukkot, also known as Festival of Booths, is one of the coming up feasts of Israel where they came up to Jerusalem. It celebrates God's faithfulness to Israel: even while they were in the desert God provided for them and brought them into their Promised Land. It is a holiday of JOY! I say amen Lord... in this desert we have been in, we have seen your faithfulness, and now we are asking for you to bring us into our Promised Land, our transformed city of Merriam.
Some wonderful people in our community asked if they could build a sukkah in our backyard for the community to use. We said, "Great!" We have been enjoying it. Today Noah, Cassie, Hadassah and I had lunch in it and had a blast. Below is short video (fyi: the videos that show up on the bottom of the screen when the movie is over are not mine do not click on any of them). Feel free to come on over and eat in the Sukkah!
