Roar
Roar (The Feast of Trumpets) is an exciting festival of praise, worship, dance, food and celebration! This festival (feast/dance) will kick off at 6:00pm on Sunday September 25th at Genesis Church (148 Eastlake St, Carrara) with food and drink, followed by the opening procession with the blowing of the Shofar (To officially launch the new year), then passionate praise and worship, followed by a message pertinent to the return of Jesus.
