7. Festival Assistance: Each year, many faithful brethren contribute extra funds from their festival tithe so that other needy members can receive the financial assistance they need to attend the Feast of Tabernacles. Their generosity helps hundreds of people attend the Feast who would be unable to attend otherwise. The Church recognizes its responsibility to see that those contributions are distributed fairly and equitably. If you have been faithfully saving your festival tithe, but anticipate that you will not enough funds to attend the Feast this year, we will be happy to help where we can. If you think you will need additional funds, please contact your Festival Advisor or your pastor to get a Festival Assistance Member Information Form. Fill out the form and return it as soon as possible. (All information on the form will be treated as confidential.) The home office has asked us to have all assistance applications turned in by the end of June, so please pick up the form and return it to us as quickly as possible. Again, festival financial assistance is available for those who do not have adequate funds to attend the Feast even though they have faithfully saved their festival tithe, or their income is too limited for them to save adequate funds to attend.

Nestled in the scenic hills of Amish Country near Charm, Ohio, Troyer’s Hollow in the Doughty Valley, it has a long tradition within the local community and the church as a relaxing retreat. A beautiful creek winds through the secluded canyon hollow where we will camp. We have the entire property for two days, and one side on Sunday. Activities planned include a Friday evening Bible Study (8:00 PM), Potluck at Noon, Sabbath Services (2:00 PM), kettle popcorn over the fire, and many campfire discussions.

The campground has covered pavilions with a small kitchen, nicely maintained bathrooms, and shower facilities.  Tent camping is most popular, though there are a few RV/Camper sites.  There are also hotels in the area for brethren who are non-campers.  Please contact Mary Miller or Susan Miller to make your reservations, especially for RVs and campers. 

Please plan to provide your own meals and drinks, aside from the Sabbath Potluck where everyone shares in providing and enjoying the meal with abundance. Don’t forget your camping chairs.

Cost: by donation (a donation box will be available) –

Arrival Time: Friday, June 21 after 3 PM - Departure: Sunday, June 23 by 2 PM

Nearby hotels are available for those who do not wish to camp. Alcohol is prohibited on the property.
