“The Lord is hastening His work to gather Israel. That gathering is the most important thing taking place on earth today. Nothing else compares in magnitude, nothing else compares in importance, nothing else compares in majesty. And if you choose to, if you want to, you can be a big part of it"

Ephesians 1:10
… in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Scheduling an Appointment

• Misconception #1 – Given the decreased numbers allowed due to Covid, the temple is always maxed out.
• 
  
• Misconception #2 – If I don’t schedule on the first of the month, I won’t be able to get an appointment.
• 
  
• Misconception #3 – I’ll just wait until Covid blows over and I can just walk in without an appointment.
