Feast of Tabernacles 2010 . . . "Grafted In"
Wednesday Evening, Sept. 22 - Thursday, September 30
Enjoy the fall Festival of Succot at
our "Hebrew Roots” feast site as we spend eight days
learning and studying the ways and walk of our Father and
His Son, Yeshua, our Messiah and the meaning of this very
special time of year referred to by some ancient Jewish
sages as "the Season of Our JOY.
Along with the numerous
opportunities to hear from a number of gifted teachers,
there will be daily Messianic praise and worship along with
Davidic dancing, and hearty fellowship - all intended to
bring us closer to the true meaning of the festival.
Evenings are packed with activities for the whole family,
including a Hamburger Cookout, a Fun Show, and Hebraic dance
classes for teens and adults (including classes for
beginners).
Because God's festivals are family oriented, we incorporate
special children's and teen's classes and activities into
the mix. Being that our festival site, the
Windermere
Youth Camp, is an active youth camp, it is specifically
patterned to be safe and enjoyable for children of all ages.
The camp
is at the end of a long private road with virtually
no traffic (almost everyone walks between activities) thus
making it safe for children with bicycles.
Yeshua observed all of God's festival at the Temple in
Jerusalem. Many of His teachings were within the
context of the Jewish culture and traditions of His day.
To help illustrate one of His most important messages, we
will all participate in the re-enactment of two of those
traditions, the “Water Pouring Ceremony” and the “Festival
of Lights", Temple services that Yeshua probably
participated in as He observed the festival in Jerusalem
along with His family, friends, and disciples.
There is plenty of housing available right on the Windermere
grounds, ranging from primitive and RV campgrounds, to motel
rooms, lodge rooms, and luxury cabins - and since most
facilities have kitchens, you won't ever have to go to a
restaurant. But if you're tired of cooking, at the
times when SOOJ is not having an activity, the dining hall
will be serving great cafeteria style meals.
This year's theme is "Grafted In".
Many of the messages will focus on the understanding that all of God's
people become a part of the greater body of Israel, and with Messiah Yeshua's help,
eventually become 'the Israel of God'.
Whether this is your first year to observe the Feast of
Tabernacles, or you've been doing it for many years, you'll
find
Season of Our Joy
to be a refreshing and enlightening festival experience. Check us
