TISHA B'AV: DAY OF MISFORTUNE
August 3rd a time of mourning and prayer

On Tisha B'Av (9th day of the month of Av-- Sunset Wednesday, Aug. 2 through Sunset Thursday, Aug. 3) we mourn the numerous atrocities committed against the Jewish people throughout the centuries, and pray for the welfare of all the k'lal Yisrael (community of Israel worldwide). On this date both Solomon's and Herod's Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed. Let this date be a time for you to stand by Israel by fasting & praying for her during this difficult time. Our sanctuary will be open for prayer all day (9-5) on Thursday the 3rd. We hope to see you there.

WHERE WE'VE BEEN
B'rit representatives share in area churches

We are always pleased when we're invited somewhere to share. Here's where we've been recently:

Dr. Allen Raich, one of our elders, and his daughter Rachel spoke to 2 youth groups at Colonial Hills Church in Southaven, MS.
Deaconess Lenora Runge taught Davidic dance to folks at Faith Anglican Church for their annual Vacation Bible School.

If you belong to another congregation apart from B'rit Hadasha and would like to discuss someone coming to your church or organization, please contact our office at (901) 685-9267.
