A group of 669 people attended the 2022 Feast of Tabernacles in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Everyone enjoyed the spacious facility with extra wide aisles for easy fellowshipping before and after services each day. The Gatlinburg site allowed us to have lots of fun activities.

Teens were able to meet and get to know one another early on with a pizza social on the first day. Then the young adults met for a Bible study on the second day. Tuesday was baseball day at a nearby diamond owned by the city. On Wednesday, we had a family dance with lots of line dancing, snacks and laser lights. On Thursday, we held a family day picnic on the large soccer field adjacent to the meeting hall. Families competed in our Novelty Olympics, while the smallest children played in the inflatable bouncy houses and others played corn-hole and Frisbee. Workers at the complex commented on how good it was to see so many children enjoying themselves! On Friday afternoon we hosted a special luncheon for the seniors with music and a short biblical message geared towards the elderly. On free nights, members were able to use the world-class sports facilities for volleyball and basketball. Feast attendees also collected 1,200 pounds of food for a local food bank.

Feastgoers in Gatlinburg were blessed with warm autumn weather with lots of sunny days and crisp, cool nights. The fall leaves were a beautiful mixture of red, yellow and green, which made hiking and driving very scenic.

The messages during the daily services were energetic and Feast-focused. Every day we enjoyed high-quality, spiritually uplifting music and rousing song services.
