1 Feast of Tabernacles 2016

2 Warmest Greetings to You! We extend a warm welcome as you join us for the 2016 Feast of Tabernacles! Our goal at Yahweh s Restoration Ministry is to be true to the Word and to honor Yahweh in every way. We are glad that you share these same desires. Finding those who are sincere in following and obeying Yahweh in all things is like discovering a jewel in the sand, but much more precious. The Feast is a time to focus on Yahweh and enjoy the fellowship of brethren. To get the most spiritually out of the Feast, we will have at least one worship service or study per day. We will have children s and youth classes throughout the Feast as well. Plenty of time will be allowed for fellowship, study, relaxation, and recreation. The young and young at heart should have a great time with all that this camp offers in the way of recreation. In Leviticus 23:40 Yahweh commands us to rejoice at His Feast, and we plan to do just that! During the Bible studies, courtesy is to be exercised, and each should come with a humble attitude that we are all still learning about Yahweh and His ways for us. Baptism into Yahshua s Name is an important step that True Worshipers are to take, John 3:5. Being immersed at the Feast among believers makes the occasion that much more memorable. We will set aside time to counsel those seeking immersion. A baptismal service is scheduled toward the end of the Feast. Those seeking immersion or counseling must see Deacon Terry O Neal to schedule counseling. 1

3 Guidelines for a Great Feast We want everyone to have a memorable Feast. Therefore we have established the following guidelines to ensure proper order and everyone s enjoyment and edification. Foremost, we are here to learn of Yahweh s will for us. Everyone should attend all scheduled services. We set aside this time in honor of Yahweh and believe that missing services is not showing proper respect to Him. We understand that an occasional personal problem may preclude attendance, but those times should be rare. Yahweh is always top priority. All speakers and moderators have been pre-selected. We do, however, invite brethren to be involved in other ways in the services. Please give the speakers your utmost attention and afford them the courtesy of not interrupting during their messages. If you have a question about the message, you may ask it of the speaker after services. Also, try to remain seated during services. If you must get up during the service, we ask that you do so quietly and in a nondisruptive manner. Please instruct your children to do the same. Dress Code To ensure proper respect during worship times, we request that men and boys wear dress or collar shirts and pants. Women and young ladies should wear dresses, skirts that cover the knee or dress pants. If you do not have this attire for worship, please come in your best. At all times, please avoid immodest shorts, sleeveless, tight or low-cut clothing. This includes modesty in the communal bathrooms. Also, women and young ladies should cover their heads during worship (1Cor. 11:6) and men are to leave their heads uncovered (1Cor. 11:7). This includes both formal Bible studies and services. 2

4 Be Respectful This Feast is sponsored by YRM. If you have doctrinal differences, we ask that you discuss them only with YRM ministers and not go around privately to others, including in private Bible studies away from the camp. This request is to maintain sound doctrine and spiritual unity throughout the Feast. We also ask that you respect the camp staff and realize that they hold to different biblical convictions. Therefore, we must not try to persuade them of our beliefs. Also, refrain from using profanity or other offensive language, as this is not becoming of a saint of Yahweh and reflects poorly to those outside. High Days and Sabbath We ask that all Feastgoers, adults and children alike, respect the High days and weekly Sabbath by remembering that these are times of rest and for spiritual fellowship, Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 58:13. Please abstain from cooking or baking in the kitchens or roasting over campfires on these days, Exodus 16:23. In addition, no organized sports or hard play is permitted, including for children on High Days and the Sabbath. The gym will also be closed during these times. Parental Responsibilities It is important that the young people have a great time at the Feast and build wonderful memories of obeying Yahweh at His special time. To ensure safety and order, parents should have their children under control and know of their whereabouts at all times. Parental guidance is an absolute requirement if your child wishes to participate in the slip 'n slide activity. Parents, be sure to be there if you don t want your children to miss out on the fun! 3

5 Children s and Youth Classes Children s classes will be available to children ages 3-7 and youth classes to ages There will also be an open (unsupervised) nursery in the back of the meeting hall for mothers with children ages 0-2. Camp Kitchens and Cleanup Those using the communal kitchens throughout the camp must clean up after themselves, including washing, drying and storing dishes used. Nothing should be left in the sink. Those who leave the kitchen messy may forfeit the use of the kitchen. Also, those using the main kitchen in the dining hall, must attend the training by Executive Chef, Angie Rice. For questions regarding the kitchen, please see Dreama Simmons or Lendia Ball. Personal Property All personal groceries stored in common kitchens should be in a bag or box with YOUR NAME on it. Please respect the property of others by not removing what is not yours from the kitchen (e.g. camping chairs, grills, coolers, food, etc.). This also includes YRM supplies for group meals. Meals While meals will be the responsibility of individual Feastgoers, we will offer several meals throughout the Feast, including daily continental breakfast, a fellowship meal on the first High Day, a communal meal on the last High Day, wiener roast, and Men s BBQ. Please bring a covered dish to the communal meals for all to share. There will also be four lunches and two dinners of scripturally clean food provided by the camp. The cost for the meal package (all six meals) is $36 for ages 9 and older and $18 for ages 3-8. Children 2 and under 4

6 eat free. All camp meals include salad, main entrée, drink, and dessert. For camp menu, see Feast schedule on pages 7-8. Campfires YRM will have a communal campfire throughout the Feast. Cutting firewood from the surrounding forest is prohibited by the camp. For their safety children are not permitted to place wood in the fire. Alcohol While Scripture permits alcohol at the Feasts (Deut. 14:26), the camp management forbids it. Please do not bring alcohol into the camp. If this is done, it will jeopardize our future use of the camp. Quiet Hours We request that all Feastgoers respect quiet hours from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. This includes keeping the volume down around the campfire after hours. Electronic Equipment and Musical Instruments Remind your children that all electronic and musical equipment and instruments in the meeting hall, including shofars, are expensive and fragile and are off limits to everyone but the technicians and musicians. Special Music/Offerings If you desire to offer praise, we encourage you to honor Yahweh with your gift during the times for special offerings. Please follow the guidelines below: Use the sacred Names Yahweh and Yahshua and refrain from using the common titles. Offerings are for songs and poems only. Limit your offering to no more than six minutes and be considerate of others. 5

7 Pets All pets must have received prior approval and must be leashed or restrained when outside. Post-Feast Cleanup Reminder Those staying at the camp should make sure that all belongings and trash is disposed of before departure, including in private lodgings and communal kitchens. YRM is responsible for leaving the camp tidy and we will need many volunteers for the cleanup after the Feast. Please stay and help. Personal items left behind in rooms and the kitchen cause additional work for the Ministry.

12 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. And you shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim seven days. And you shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
