Transcript of Feast of Tabernacles - Yahweh's Restoration...
Feast of Tabernacles 2016
1
Warmest Greetings to You!
We extend a warm welcome as you join us for the 2016 Feast of
Tabernacles! Our goal at Yahweh’s Restoration Ministry is to be true
to the Word and to honor Yahweh in every way. We are glad that you
share these same desires. Finding those who are sincere in following
and obeying Yahweh in all things is like discovering a jewel in the
sand, but much more precious.
The Feast is a time to
focus on Yahweh and enjoy
the fellowship of brethren. To
get the most spiritually out of
the Feast, we will have at least
one worship service or study
per day. We will have
children’s and youth classes
throughout the Feast as well.
Plenty of time will be allowed for fellowship, study,
relaxation, and recreation. The young and young at heart should have
a great time with all that this camp offers in the way of recreation. In
Leviticus 23:40 Yahweh commands us to rejoice at His Feast, and we
plan to do just that!
During the Bible studies, courtesy is to be exercised, and each
should come with a humble attitude that we are all still learning about
Yahweh and His ways for us.
Baptism into Yahshua’s Name is an important step that True
Worshipers are to take, John 3:5. Being immersed at the Feast among
believers makes the occasion that much more memorable. We will set
aside time to counsel those seeking immersion. A baptismal service is
scheduled toward the end of the Feast. Those seeking immersion or
counseling must see Deacon Terry O’Neal to schedule counseling.

Guidelines for a Great Feast
We want everyone to have a memorable Feast. Therefore we have
established the following guidelines to ensure proper order and
everyone’s enjoyment and edification. Foremost, we are here to learn
of Yahweh’s will for us. Everyone should attend all scheduled
services. We set aside this time in honor of Yahweh and believe that
missing services is not showing proper respect to Him. We
understand that an occasional personal problem may preclude
attendance, but those times should be rare. Yahweh is always top
priority.
All speakers and moderators have been pre-selected. We do,
however, invite brethren to be involved in other ways in the services.
Please give the speakers your utmost attention and afford them the
courtesy of not interrupting during their messages. If you have a
question about the message, you may ask it of the speaker after
services. Also, try to remain seated during services. If you must get
up during the service, we ask that you do so quietly and in a non-
disruptive manner. Please instruct your children to do the same.
Dress Code
To ensure proper respect during
worship times, we request that men and
boys wear dress or collar shirts and
pants. Women and young ladies should
wear dresses, skirts that cover the knee
or dress pants. If you do not have this
attire for worship, please come in your
best. At all times, please avoid
immodest shorts, sleeveless, tight or low-cut clothing. This
includes modesty in the communal bathrooms.
Also, women and young ladies should cover their heads
during worship (1Cor. 11:6) and men are to leave their heads
uncovered (1Cor. 11:7). This includes both formal Bible studies and
services.

Be Respectful
This Feast is sponsored by YRM. If you have doctrinal differences,
we ask that you discuss them only with YRM ministers and not go
around privately to others, including in private Bible studies away
from the camp. This request is to maintain sound doctrine and
spiritual unity throughout the Feast.
We also ask that you respect the camp staff and realize that
they hold to different biblical convictions. Therefore, we must not try
to persuade them of our beliefs. Also, refrain from using profanity or
other offensive language, as this is not becoming of a saint of Yahweh
and reflects poorly to those outside.
High Days and Sabbath
We ask that all Feastgoers, adults and
children alike, respect the High days and
weekly Sabbath by remembering that
these are times of rest and for spiritual
fellowship, Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah
58:13. Please abstain from cooking or
baking in the kitchens or roasting over
campfires on these days, Exodus 16:23. In addition, no organized
sports or hard play is permitted, including for children on High Days
and the Sabbath. The gym will also be closed during these times.
Parental Responsibilities
It is important that the young people have a great time at the Feast
and build wonderful memories of obeying Yahweh at His special
time. To ensure safety and order, parents should have their children
under control and know of their whereabouts at all times.
Children’s and Youth Classes
Children’s classes will be available to children ages 3-7 and youth
classes to ages 8-12. There will also be an open (unsupervised)
nursery in the back of the meeting hall for mothers with children
ages 0-2.

Camp Kitchens and Cleanup
Those using the communal kitchens throughout the camp must clean
up after themselves, including washing, drying and storing dishes
used. Nothing should be left in the sink. Those who leave the kitchen
messy may forfeit the use of the kitchen. Also, those using the main
kitchen in the dining hall, must attend the training by Executive
Chef, Angie Rice. For questions regarding the kitchen, please see
Dreama Simmons or Lendia Ball.
Personal Property
All personal groceries stored in common kitchens should be in a bag
or box with YOUR NAME on it. Please respect the property of others
by not removing what is not yours from the kitchen (e.g. camping
chairs, grills, coolers, food, etc.). This also includes YRM supplies for
group meals.
Meals
While meals will be the responsibility of
individual Feastgoers, we will offer several
meals throughout the Feast, including daily
continental breakfast, a fellowship meal on
the first High Day, a communal meal on the
last High Day, wiener roast, and Men’s
BBQ. Please bring a covered dish to the
communal meals for all to share. There will
also be four lunches and two dinners of scripturally clean food
provided by the camp. The cost for the meal package (all six meals) is
$36 for ages 9 and older and $18 for ages 3-8. Children 2 and under
eat free. All camp meals include salad, main entrée, drink, and
dessert. For camp menu, see Feast schedule on pages 7-8.
Campfires
YRM will have a communal campfire throughout the Feast. Cutting
firewood from the surrounding forest is prohibited by the camp. Also,
wood provided to the ministry by the camp should be used only for
5
designated communal campfires. For their safety children are not
permitted to place wood in the fire.
Alcohol
While Scripture permits alcohol at the Feasts (Deut. 14:26), the
camp management forbids it. Please do not bring alcohol into the
camp. If this is done, it will jeopardize our future use of the camp.
Quiet Hours
We request that all Feastgoers respect quiet hours from 11:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m. This includes keeping the volume down around the
campfire after hours.
Electronic Equipment and Musical Instruments
Remind your children that all electronic and musical equipment and
instruments in the meeting hall, including shofars, are expensive and
fragile and are off limits to everyone but the technicians and
musicians.
Special Music/Offerings
If you desire to offer praise, we
encourage you to honor Yahweh with
your gift during the times for special
offerings. Please follow the guidelines
below:
Use the sacred Names Yahweh
and Yahshua and refrain from using the common titles.
Offerings are for songs and poems only.
Limit your offering to no more than six minutes and be
considerate of others, as only four offerings are allotted per
service.
To schedule your offering, see the moderator of the service or head
moderator, Deacon Steve Reed.

Pets
All pets must have received prior approval and must be leashed or
restrained when outside.
Post-Feast Cleanup Reminder
Those staying at the camp should
make sure that all belongings are and
trash is disposed of before departure,
including private lodgings and
communal kitchens. YRM is
responsible for leaving the camp
tidy and we will need many
volunteers for the cleanup after the Feast. Please stay and help.
Personal items left behind in rooms and the kitchen cause additional
work for the Ministry.

“Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast unto
Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on
the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. And you shall take you on
the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm
trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook;
and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim seven days.
And you shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the
year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you
shall celebrate it in the seventh month.”
Leviticus 23:39-41
