Now is the time to
register for 2002 Festival

By Charles Albrecht

The Worldwide Church of God is now accepting registration for the 2002 festivals. Festival coordinators met May 13 for a teleconference to finalize preparations for this year’s festival. This year’s celebrations should once again be an exciting time of worship, family and fellowship.

We will kick off our 2002 festival celebrations in Atlanta, Georgia. Speakers will include the denomination’s president, Joseph Tkach, as well as Mssrs. Albrecht, Dick, Feazell, Kelly, Rogers and others. The Atlanta Summerfest will also include workshops given by Claude King on Experiencing God and Kimberly Woltz on How to Have Wonderful Praise and Worship for Your Church.

  
Claude King         Kimberly Woltz

Mr. King is co-author, with Henry Blackaby, of Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God.

In an effort to emphasize the geographic flavor of each site, more planning and coordination is being handled within the host districts. We also want to shape our activities around those attending, so we encourage you to register right away if you plan to attend.

This year’s sites will require a registration fee as opposed to a tax-deductible donation, which we had in previous years. To compensate for this change we have also lowered the festival rates this year.

For your convenience, several ways are available to register. To register by phone, please call toll free 1-800-924-4644 (please have credit card). Registration may also be completed on the Internet at www.wcg.org and then clicking on the Events button. Or you may register by mailing the coupon at right and including a check or credit card information.

Once you have registered you will receive a welcome packet with further details and specifics about your site. At that time, we encourage you to contact your coordinator and volunteer to serve at the site.

In addition to the festival sites listed on this page, the church will also be host for three festival tours (please see article on page 27). Registration for those sites is being handled by John Siston at Travel Gallery. He may be reached toll-free at 1-800-858-6999.
