The Journal: News of the Churches of God

The Journal lists 138 Feast of Tabernacles sites for 2000

By Mac Overton

There are more than 138 Feast of Tabernacles sites The Journal was aware of at press time for this issue. (The exact number is unknown, since the Philadelphia Church of God and the Church of God, an International Community, have several sites that are not listed individually here.) Also, many small sites are sponsored by in-home fellowships that did not contact The Journal for this listing.)

Information for the listings comes from The Olive Branch's Web site (www.olivebranches.net), Servants' News, other Web sites and information sent directly to The Journal.

Unless otherwise stated, The Journal believes each listing represents a Feast observance beginning Friday evening, Oct. 13, and running through Saturday, Oct. 21, 2000. Listing here does not constitute endorsement of any group or site by The Journal.
