How to be a great member of our Sukkot family
The Feast of Tabernacles pictures the time when our King will finally receive His dominion! We each have a part to play in making our gathering a joyful, peaceful, and set-apart experience for everyone.
The Feast is a time to practice Kingdom living with the Messiah at the center. Come with a heart ready to serve, encourage, and build up your brothers and sisters. Be willing to lend a hand wherever needed — setup, cleanup, kitchen duty, or simply offering a warm smile to a newcomer.
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." — Matthew 18:20
Families are the foundation of our community. During the Feast, make your family a priority:
We come from many backgrounds and walks of life, but we are united in our love for YHWH and His appointed times. Practice patience, grace, and understanding with one another. Avoid contentious debates and divisive topics. Focus on what unites us — not what divides us.
"How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" — Psalm 133:1
REJOICE! This is a command, not a suggestion. Build your sukkah, enjoy yourself, engage in meaningful discussion, relax, have fun, and have a deeply spiritual experience. Get involved in activities, volunteer to help, and make the most of this set-apart time.
"Rejoice before YHWH your Elohim for seven days. Celebrate this as a festival to YHWH for seven days each year — you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns."
— Leviticus 23:40, Deuteronomy 16:14
