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 Monday, October 6 and ends at sundown on Monday, October 13. During this time, you are invited to attend the fun-filled Feast of Tabernacles Party on Wednesday, October 8 at 7 PM at The KBC.
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.
If you have never celebrated The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), or you’ve been thinking about it, and just never found the right resources to help you, now is the time! No more excuses. Commit to make room in your life and in your home for a time and space to worship the LORD together as a family or group of friends during this wonderful festival!

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 Monday, September 22 and has a Worship Celebration the day before).
