Or haOlam is 30! We’ll celebrate on Shabbat, May 3
Or HaOlam was started in the home of Richard and Carol Halula on Purim of 1995. We were not legally incorporated yet, but that was Shmuel’s first Messianic synagogal message, and the emotional sense of the work hasn't changed much since then. The first incorporated service was Rosh HaShanah of 1995. So we have picked a day between those dates to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the kehilah. Please mark May 3 for special activities, honors and blessings – particularly if you are one of the early congregants with memories to share.
National Day of Prayer
National Day of Prayer will be Thursday, May 1, noon-1 pm at Thompson Park, 8045 Santa Fe Dr., downtown Overland Park. Rabbi Shmuel will lead the group in prayer for the church and Israel.
