Purim is the Jewish holiday that takes place on the 14th day of Adar on the Jewish calendar. Purim commemorates God’s victory for His people over an evil plot to destroy them. A wicked man named Haman devised a plan to deceive King Ahasuerus to have the Jewish people destroyed during the ancient Persian Empire, but God used the faithful and courageous act of a Jewish girl, as told through the Book of Esther, to save her people.
In the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on its thirteenth day … on the day that the enemies of the Jews were expected to prevail over them, it was turned about: the Jews prevailed over their adversaries. – Esther 9:1
Come celebrate the victory of the Jewish people over an evil plot to destroy them, once again. (An all too familiar story).
The story of Esther is retold through the reading of the Megillah. Come cheer Mordecai and boo Haman! You are encouraged to dress up for this festive holiday, but please, no distasteful characters or costumes. There will be plenty of groggers to sound and hamantaschen, to eat for everyone!
Each year, for Purim, we collect spare change or other monetary donations for those in need. This year we will be taking a collection for Wycliffe Bible Translators. Please bring your spare change, cash or checks to support this ministry. If you are writing a check, please make it payable to: Wycliffe Bible Translators. Thank You!
