Our Feast of Tabernacles Celebration Last Sunday

Although rain prohibited us from experiencing the fullness of the evening planned, we were able to share the Scriptural importance of this day! The Feast of Tabernacles is a day that is celebrated as we remember God's provision for the Hebrew people as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. They were always fed, their clothes never wore out and there was always protection as they carried their dwelling place (tabernacle/sukkah) with them. This Feast has a future fulfillment in that we will tabernacle "dwell" with our Messiah and will always be with Him. 

Here are a few pictures from our celebration!
