Last Shabbat we introduced Operation Breakthrough. Thanks to all of you who have already generously responded.
Every month hundreds of people worship with us at our Shabbat services and participate in the many programs and activities of our congregation.
Our new synagogue is a beautiful home for Jewish people who love Yeshua, and who want to raise our families in a vibrant Jewish community that is filled with people - both Jews and Gentiles - who love Yeshua too.
If just 300 of us - young and old - would give $50 apiece, we would have exactly what we need to make the final payment to our contractors for Phase One.
This week, a number of you have given even more towards Operation Breakthrough. Some of you are able to give hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars. And let's recall how Yeshua took note of the widow who gave her mite. She and her gift were very important to him. Everyone - young and old - will be able to give something to Operation Breakthrough - of this I am confident.

"Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
My hope is that by the end of this weekend (Sunday, October 28) we will bring Phase One of our beautiful new sanctuary and synagogue to completion. How wonderful to bring to conclusion these past 22 months of planning and building!
After we make this final payment of $15,000 we will begin Phase Two - our exciting new Community Cafe and Fellowship Center.
Last Shabbat I shared some of the breakthroughs we have been experiencing as a congregation and community. If you were not able to join us, please listen to Friday night's podcast for an even bigger and better understanding of Operation Breakthrough and all that is ahead.
