The Torah states in Leviticus 16:24, “...In the seventh month, on the first of the month, there shall be a sabbath for you, a remembrance with Shofar blasts, a holy convocation.”

In correspondence with the Hebrew calendar Tishrei 1-2, 5770, starting September 18-20th RPC will be keeping the feast of Rosh Hashanah as the L-rd commanded by His word.

Today, Rosh Hashanah is more commonly known as the Jewish New Year, one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar. Our community views this season as one to reflect upon the past and realize a heightened spiritual awareness that will enable us to see through the lens of G-d, thus dying to our flesh and embracing the spiritual blessing of our King. 

It is at this time that we commemorate the sounding of the Shofar, preparing our souls for the return of our Mashiach ben David.  The blast of the Shofar has a myriad of significance to us as believers in Yeshua. Traditionally, the Shofar was sounded for an alarm with the purpose of calling to battle, or worship.  It is also used in preparation for a mighty move, such as a pilgrimage, like the journey made by the Children of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land. 

As our community sounds the Shofar this season, we invite you to join us on the front-lines of a spiritual battlefield focused on praying for the house of Israel and all those in our communities that are wounded and/or estranged from the Shalom of G-d.  We also invite you to begin this spiritual New Year with worship, giving all honor and glory to the Master of Legions, the Beginning and the End, the One who is above all, He who sits on a throne in Heaven, our G-d and the King of Israel.  As you continue your spiritual pilgrimage toward the Promises of Yeshua, He will bless you mightily for keeping His commands to worship this Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah).

Life, Shalom and Blessing to all!  We look forward to seeing you on the eve of the new year.
