We warmly welcome all who share the commitment to zealously follow Jesus Christ, to rejoice with us in celebrating the Biblical Feast of Tabernacles and Eighth Day!

2008 will be our sixth celebration on the central Oregon coast in the picturesque setting of Newport, a community known for its friendliness and for its claim to "more to do than anywhere else on the coast." Newport is conveniently situated on the Pacific Coast Highway 101, approximately 3 hours southwest of Portland International Airport, or 1 hour west of Interstate 5, from the Highway 34 exit south of Albany.

The dates for the Festival are reckoned according to the Scriptural Calendar used during the time of Jesus Christ and the early apostles -- the year begins with the month of Abib, and the months with the lunar crescent as seen from Jerusalem. Thus, this year's Feast will begin officially on Wednesday evening, October 15, and continue through the Great Eighth Day on Thursday, October 23.

Honoring God's Holy Days as days not to be trampled underfoot by unnecessary travel or by the conduct of business, Feast-goers will arrive on site before the first Holy Day begins and take care to not depart during holy time.

We are blessed to enjoy the use of a bright and spacious meeting room, kitchen facility, and mothers' room, located in the City of Newport's outstanding Recreation Center. The meeting room will serve as our venue for Church services, as well as for relaxing potluck meals on the weekly Sabbaths and on both of the Festival Holy Days. A Church service will held on each day, with numerous additional opportunities for family activities and collective fellowship.

Sermons will be offered in English, with translation into Spanish available.

A wide variety of lodging options are available in Newport and the surrounding area, ranging from modest to elegant. There can be significant variation in value for cost. We have visited a number of establishments, and are happy to provide recommendations for you upon your request.

YES! Please register me to attend the Feast.
