The Feast of Booths, Succoth, will be held by the Congregation of YHWH at Group Camp #1 in Murray State Park, Oklahoma. The evening of September 28th marks the beginning of this feast. We will be at the campsite from September 28th to October 8th, in order to observe the first high day and last great day.
The following schedule is tentative and subject to change. We will notify everyone of any changes immediately through Facebook, and subsequently, Twitter.
Important Information
ONLY ONE OFFERING WILL BE TAKEN UP DURING THE FEAST, ON THE FIRST DAY AT MORNING SERVICES.
Breakfast will be provided and ready most days of the feast. It will consist of:
Various dry cereals
Hot cereal (cream of wheat/oatmeal/grits)
Toast, English Muffins, Bagels
Variety Fruit
Cream cheeses
Yogurt
Milk, juice, coffee
All meals are free. Donations put in the Food Fund envelope (available throughout the feast) will be put toward the cost of providing wholesome breakfast, lunch, and dinners.
The kitchen is well appointed with cooking utensils and is open for anyone to use. You are welcome to bring your own food and prepare it. Each person is responsible for cleaning up after themselves; especially after using the kitchen. Please be sure that the dining and kitchen areas are cleaner when you leave it than when you found it.
SPECIAL NOTICE
No one is allowed in the dining hall during the sermon or study. If you're not participating in services, we ask that you at least not be in the kitchen.
No outside drinks in the meeting hall, with the exception for a drink in a spill-proof sippy cup or bottle for those under the age of two.
A water dispenser and disposable cups will be in the meeting hall for those who need it. Please take care of your trash when finished. Do not leave cups unattended.
Every study and sermon will be recorded and uploaded to Youtube the same day.
To those who would like to wear masks while gathering: we welcome you and understand that you may not want to risk exposure. If you feel threatened or someone is instigating an altercation (verbal or physical) over your right to wear a face covering, please bring it to the attention of any of our elders, associate pastor or pastor.
The wi-fi signal in this area in near non-existent. Please understand that there will be a delay in the posting of news online to our socials. This includes recorded sermons, bible studies and seminars.
Remember that all of the cabins should cleaned (swept and mopped) and vacated by 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING (10am CST) on SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH.
Family Day is a free day that may have small activities that run from 10 AM to 2 PM. If people would like, you may cook what you catch at the lake for a fish fry lunch (it will not be a prepared lunch for everyone).
Enjoy being together, with no generational boundaries. Children, teens, adults, and elders, have fun being brethren!
Pictures will be taken throughout the course of the feast by many people. If you do not want your picture taken and posted online, please text or email Amara Walker by on Sabbath, September 30th. She will ensure that if your picture is taken, that it will not be uploaded online (if you do happen to see one, just ask nicely, and it will be taken down).
A group picture will be taken for the 2024 Congregation of YHWH calendar on Friday, October 6th. This time may change, and if so, will be announced. Please come and pose with us for marking the end of another wonderful year praising Yahweh's name.
