tzadaka box
           TZEDAKAH BOX
 
Eitz-Chaim does not "pass the plate."  Instead you will find a Tzedakah Box on the wall as you enter the lobby.  Tzedakah literally means "righteousness" or "doing the right thing."   Eitz-Chaim depends on everyone doing the right thing so that we can fulfill our mission of spreading the Good News and helping others.   Scripture is clear ... we are not to give grudgingly or of necessity.  We should do the right thing before God with a cheerful spirit (2 Cor 9:7). 

Giving submits to God's Lordship

Every act of obedience recognizes that there is a higher authority in our lives, that there is a Lord over us who is entitled to honor and respect. Due to our temperament, personality, or circumstances, we may find some commands relatively easy to obey. Our submission is really tested in the areas where our own nature and situation make obedience more difficult. For most of us, money is one of those areas. Our wallet is often the last citadel to fall to God's rule, and even when it does fall, it gets rebuilt and re-secured again all too quickly. If only we could remember that Divine Lordship is not a threat; rather it's the place of greatest safety.

ONEG 
needs your participation

Although we are are blessed to have Yeshua in our midst, it is up to each one of us to help provide the "loaves and fishes," so please bring something to share (no meat, chicken or pork products).  Please allow visitors and the elderly to go first in line. Parents are requested to accompany their children.

Apple Pie

You may want to sit down for this; one of the commonly used phrases in America, "It's as American as apple pie," is actually false. It turns out that the most iconic pie in American culture and history is, in fact, not American at all.

There are few things as American as apple pie, as the saying goes, but like much of America's pie tradition, the original apple pie recipes came from England. These pre-Revolutionary prototypes were made with unsweetened apples and encased in an inedible shell. Yet the apple pie did develop a following, and was first referenced in the year 1589, in Menaphon by poet R. Greene: "Thy breath is like the steeme of apple pies." (500 years later, we have "I'm Lovin' It", thanks to McDonald's and its signature apple pie in an individual-serving sleeve.) Pies today are world-spanning treats, made with everything from apples to avocados.

 

Thank You
