Greetings Brethren,

Deuteronomy 16:13  "You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress. :14  And you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates. :15  Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD chooses, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.

And so brethren, though there are some changes to how we shall rejoice, we will be keeping the Feast of Tabernacles in Glacier Country, Montana.

The Governor of Montana has issued a directive that face masks should be worn during indoor public activities. As Christians, we do not seek to resist the authority that is placed over us by God. Rather, as it is not against God, we comply in agape love for one another and in obedience.

The Tabernacle building is quite large, with normal capacity of 1,000. We have restricted the entire site down to 700. This should give us room for family groups to sit together at services with adequate space between the brethren. We will also have an additional room in the lodge which will be reserved for 100 of the brethren, elderly and handicapped. This leaves seating for 600 in the Tabernacle.

We do not know what may happen between now and the beginning of the Feast, but we count on God's blessing for His people. We ask that you please pray for His peace and direction as we look forward to keeping His command to rejoice.

David Jones
