Trinity Reformed to

host special speaker

HUBLERSBURG — Ari Hauben, a representative of Chosen People Ministries, will speak tomorrow at Trinity Reformed Church, 355 Hublersburg Road, during the 9:30 a.m. service.

The program he will present is “Messiah in the Day of Atonement.”

Chosen People Ministries was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, the mission has grown into a worldwide ministry with outreach centers in 10 countries. Chosen People Ministries brings the gospel message of salvation in Jesus “to the Jew first and to the Gentile” throughout the world.

It stresses the Jewish roots of Christian faith, in the hope of making the message more accessible to Jewish people and helping Christian believers achieve a greater appreciation of the Jewish basis of their own faith traditions.

Trinity Reformed invites the Christian and Jewish community to attend. A love offering will be received. For more information, call 814-383-9902.
