October Events


John 10:10

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. 
I have come that they may have life, 
and that they may have it more abundantly.

Peace and reconciliation are the themes being presented at the start of this month!
Convergence of events mid-September to the first of October:
  • NYC - UN Assembly (Palmyra arch installation at City Hall Park, Manhattan)
  • Canada - Prince William (black rod ceremony/reconciliation with indigenous peoples)
  • Caucasus region/Georgia - Pope - "peace mission" 
  • Jerusalem, Israel - World leaders gather for Peres funeral


On this 10th month I chose scriptures with the number ten represented.


Hebrews 10:1
For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.
