Letter to Members - June 1, 2009
June 1, 2009
Greeting To All Our Brethren And Friends!
This special letter is to inform you of our upcoming Church Fast for the 2009 Feast of Tabernacles and God’s Work. Several years ago, we decided it was important each year before the Feast of Tabernacles to set aside a day of fasting and prayer that God would bless our efforts to sponsor a Feast of Tabernacles site. The Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day each year completes the Festival season for God’s Holy Days and what an important and refreshing time it really is. My wife and I have been observing the Feast of Tabernacles for decades and have always commented that many of our most cherished memories have been at the Feast of Tabernacles. The spiritual refreshing, the special time with the brethren and the Festival experience is simply like no other time of the year.
It is indeed a foretaste of God’s Kingdom.
When we first began the Western Region Church of God, the need was impressed on me that we needed to sponsor a Feast of Tabernacles. There was a need in this area for brethren for a site that wasn’t extremely distant, as travel expense has become an increasing concern for many of God’s people. Colorado Springs is a beautiful area and has drawn many brethren from far reaches of our country as well. I also believe we needed a stable, “ middle of the road” Feast site that celebrated this festival with sound doctrine and the historic practices that so many of us prefer. I make no apologies for that. Yet, we are an “open door” Feast site and each year do invite speakers from other organizations that love God and believe in the observance of the Feast of Tabernacles as we do. Any one is welcome to attend as long as they come with an amicable spirit.
We are setting aside Sunday, June 28 as a fast day for God to help us with the Feast this year. Many of us will probably fast from Saturday evening to Sunday evening; that of course is a personal choice. Some of you may, because of health reasons, be unable to fast but for a meal or two. Others may be unable to fast at all; but we would still appreciate your special prayer on this day. Of course another day might work better for you. This fast is totally voluntary. We are deeply thankful for your help and support.
In Christ’s Service,
Phill Dunagan-Elder

Feast of Tabernacles 2009 - June 1, 2009
Greetings To Our Brethren and Friends!
I hope this letter finds each of you doing well and in good spirit. We just celebrated an inspiring Feast of Pentecost yesterday and are so very thankful for the insight that God’s Holy Days continue to give us. I have been observing the Feast Days since 1967; my wife Jeanette began observing them as a little girl back in the 50’s, yet the Feast Days continue to be as inspiring as ever! This letter is to inform you of our plans for the upcoming 2009 Feast of Tabernacles sponsored by the Western Region Church of God. We will be celebrating the Feast this fall in Colorado Springs at a the same facility we have been at for the past two years. They have done some remodeling; have added an indoor saltwater swimming pool that hopefully we’ll be able to use for any baptisms we have at the Feast. They restaurant also will be open for longer hours at the Feast; so that should be an added plus. This year the 2009 Feast of Tabernacles will be observed from Saturday October 3 until Saturday October 10 , which of course will be the Last Great Day. It will be helpful to remember that most of the brethren will be arriving on Friday , October 2 and spending their last night at the Hotel on Friday , October 9 , checking out of the Hotel the next morning. We will be adding additional information on our Church web site www.wrcog.net as our speaking and activity schedule is firmed up. The Feast of Tabernacles 2009 will be held at the:
