Something you might want to do

I am not Jewish, but am very intrigued by their celebrations. There is so much meaning in the things they do. I really like the tradition in their celebrations and have celebrate one of them and was really touched by it. Here is an e-mail we got from our church yesterday:

Tonight, Wednesday September 12th at sundown the Westside Jewish Congregation is using our facility to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. There will be a time of Blowing the Shofar to commence this celebration.
This is called Yom T'ruah- The Feast of Trumpets. Through the sound of the shofar He calls us back to Himself, back to simplicity of devotion to Messiah, back to a life fashioned by His wise hands.
This Blowing the Shofar begins the season and ten days later is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. These ten days are known as the "Days of Awe," where we are expected to examine ourselves, seek repentance, and make restitution.
Be encouraged, as the Shofar blows tonight and you begin your own Days of Awe, God is going to meet you at your point of need.
Don't get caught in any trap of the enemy who would accuse you and try to disqualify you. Make sure you connect with a partner, chose your area of fast, pray and then believe for God to breakthrough in your life and your families life.
These ten days could be the best ever! Enjoy them! Rest in them! Allow God to minister to your heart. Let your faith be stirred! God is ready to perform His Word in your life! Remember to pray in the area of Repentance, Restoration of Relationships, Rain of the Holy Spirit and Releasing the Harvest. Also, believe for the breakthrough you are praying for. It is a time of New Beginnings!
Our God is an Awesome God. May you be filled with Awe as you seek Him during these next days.

I am sure we all need to repent and make restitution! Why not join with out Jewish brothers and sisters in drawing near to God this next week.

If you aren't religious, no big deal!

Talk to you all soon=)
