 Shabbat Morning Experience

We are going to continue our experiment something new and creative for Shabbat morning in our congregation. The Shabbat Morning Experience has two elements: Study and Prayer. We will study our prayer book: its structure, its theological ideas, its music and more… and we will do parts of our Shabbat morning service in between the various segments of the study. Our intention is to have at least one Shabbat Morning Experience every month. It starts at 10:00 am through 12:00 noon, to be followed by a lunch.  This time the rabbi will be cooking Cholent, a traditional Jewish Shabbat lunch stew. This will be a dairy potluck with additional side dishes and desserts furnished by YOU.  Bring food to share for a festive meal.

Come to Temple and LEAVE the CAR at HOME !!

The Board has voted to provide transportation to members living in the SW corridor on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. The ride is free for members and guests. Rides will be provided on a first come, first served reservation only basis and those members wishing to participate must call Joe Switt, 208-3031, or e-mail him at to insure that they will be on the driver's manifest. There will be 2 stops, picking up passengers: We have permission from Oak Run for the transport vehicle to pick up members in the overflow parking lot at 7:00 p.m. on the 1st. and 3rd. Fridays of the month. The other pickup location is the new Publix parking lot at SR. 200 and 80th Ave. toward the street and away from the stores. This will be at 7:15 p.m. We will aim to return at 9:30. This stop should serve On Top of the World and other communities in the general vicinity.

Blood Donation
