Feast of Tabernacles

Sukkot

The Feast of Tabernacles is the climax of the Fall Feasts and the most celebrative. It is God’s appointed time for believers to come into His presence and celebrate His glory, provision, protection, and deliverance through Jesus Christ. Leviticus 23:40 says to “Rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.” Deuteronomy 16:14-15 says to “Be joyful at your Feast for the Lord your God will bless you and your joy will be complete.” We will celebrate with singing, dancing, and great food. Mark your calendar to be a part of this exciting time.

The Feast of Tabernacles (aka Sukkot—soo-COAT) begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 16 and ends at sundown on Wednesday, October 23. During this time, you are invited to attend the fun-filled Feast of Tabernacles Worship Celebration and The Windsor Village Church Family Ministry Color and Family Tent Party on Sunday, October 20 at 9:30 AM at The KBC.

Sukkot celebrations will continue with the Tuesday, October 22, Brother’s Only Worship Celebration at 7 PM at The KBC. Make plans now to attend these exciting events. You do not want to miss out on this joyful time with your Church Family!

Please set aside time each day to pray and worship with your family or small group, preferably in the early evening, around sundown; or, you may find it beneficial to use this guide over dinner as a way of preparing your heart to come before the LORD in our Worship Celebrations.

God’s Days of Rest

As our Church Family prepares to celebrate the Fall Feasts, consider scheduling the following days off from work. In Leviticus 23, God instructs the Israelites to “do no customary work” on specific days associated with the feasts. “No customary work” basically means to take the day off from work. The Lord understands if you have towork, but if you can, take the day off enjoy the Lord and your family.

“No Customary Work” Days

Remember all Holy days begin at sundown the evening before the calendar day listed. (Example: The Feast of Trumpets begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 2).

• Friday – Sunday, October 11-12 – Day of Atonement
• Wednesday, October 16 – Feast of Tabernacles (Day 1)
• Wednesday, October 23 –  Feast of Tabernacles (Day 7)
