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 Friday, September 29 and ends at sundown on Friday, October 6. During this time, you are invited to attend the fun-filled
Feast of Tabernacles Opening Worship Celebration on Sunday, October 1 at 9:30 AM. Sukkot celebrations will continue with the Monday, October 2 Brother’s Only Worship Celebration at 7:00 PM. We will also celebrate during Victory Wednesday Bible Study on October 4 at 7 PM at The KBC. Our Feast of Tabernacles closing prayer will take place on Friday, October 6 at 7 PM. 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 Friday, September 29th).
- Saturday, September 16 Feast of Trumpets
- Monday, September 25 Day of Atonement
- Saturday, September 30 Feast of Tabernacles (Day 1)
- Friday, October 6 Feast of Tabernacles (Day 8)
