From auditoriums at regional sites to local church meeting halls to members' homes, Worldwide Church of God members met Sept. 28 to Oct. 5 to celebrate salvation at the Feast of Tabernacles.
Mark McCulley, Festival Administration manager, said: "Over and over, I keep hearing from people that the music was inspiring, moving them to praise and worship God more than ever, and the sermons were outstanding.
"This year we focused on understanding our salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and from what I hear, the message came through loud and clear," Mr. McCulley continued. "Members appreciated the clear focus of the sermons, and the fabulous efforts of all our musicians in helping us worship."
Mr. McCulley thanked "all who worked so many hours, prayed so much and put so much into the Festival. Thanks to those who spoke, and above all, thanks to our loving God for his gifts.
"Our prayer is that we can take what we experienced and learned this year, and let our spiritual growth lead to numeric growth."
