The New Jerusalem House of Prayer 
Inaugural Weekend was

June 26-28, 2015

  

On June 26-28, in West Chicago, we met for the inaugural events of New Jerusalem, a new house of prayer for all people – Jew and Gentile, male and female, bound and free – a new identity with one common root, to be one new family of God. Our special guest was Omer Eshel, Israeli counsel from Israel. He was great!

 

Now our journey is underway, and it is thrilling! Join us as we create and grow together in this new house of prayer. Together we seriously study the teachings of Torah, the writings, prophets, and our common Jewish roots in the teachings of a very Jewish Jesus and His followers: the New Testament writings.
