Rabbi David Learns to Quilt

By -

We are a blessed congregation at Rehoboth.  Our Rabbi supports our mission to help the Holocaust survivors and the poor and needy in Israel.  

He stopped by our last craft-a-long to learn to tie a quilt!  By Jove, I think he's got it!

September News You Can Use

By -
Greetings in the mighty name of Yeshua! Meetings: For this month we will be meeting on September 24th ONLY. Join us from 12-4pm as we design, pin and tie quilts.

Our schedule is now typically: begin at noon opening prayer and announcements 1:00 pm closing prayer and song 3:00 pm wrap it up! 4:00 pm Projects: We are excited to announce...

Life moves so quickly. Work, Family, Friends, Congregation - there's many obligations one has in ones life. Some things fall by the wayside. This blog is one of them. Posting events and pictures seems much easier thru Facebook. My apologies. So, what's new in our world? We have now shipped out 368 quilts to Israel! This has been amazing to watch the different quilts come together. The next shipment of quilts leaves California in September according to Dudley Goff, the Israel Food Outreach founder. Dudley spent 7 weeks in Israel this Spring distributing soup mix to the hungry and quilts to the survivors. He was gracious to share pictures of his visit with Susan Heagy of Abundant Hope International. When I see these pictures, I know all that juggling of commitments and priorities becomes clear: Serve the poor! Until next time - Le Hetriot!
