Important: Our congregation follows the sighting of the new moon from Jerusalem to determine our feast dates. All dates and activities on this page are tentative, based on availability and when the new moon is sighted in early September. Join our newsletter list for updates.
Fall Feasts 2021
Yom Teruah (beginning at sundown, Tuesday, September 7, or Wednesday, September 8)
This day, beginning at sundown, is a Sabbath on which no regular work is to be done (Leviticus 23:24-25). We are commanded to assemble and shout! We usually meet at sundown for a meal, fun games, and worship (evening of September 7 or 8). Because the following day is a rest day, we may also plan a gathering then (September 8 or 9).
Plans to be announced.

This day, beginning at sundown the night before, is a Sabbath on which absolutely no work is to be done, for the entire 24 hours (Leviticus 23:27-32). We are commanded to assemble and to humble ourselves!

Camping During Sukkot

There are RV sites with electric and, water, and a dump station. There are also tent sites. There are also two 8-person cabins and six 4-person bunkhouses available.

Please let us know right away if you would like to reserve a cabin or bunkhouse!
Activities on the campground include singing around the campfire, canoeing, basketball, swimming, fishing, volleyball, hiking, bicycling, hayrides, a playground for the children, and more! The grounds include a pavilion for shared meals, a fellowship center with basketball court and kitchen facilities, and a chapel for worship and Bible studies. We plan to gather each evening at 7pm for music, testimonies, Bible study, and fellowship.
