The Journal lists Feast of Tabernacles sites for 2002

By Mac Overton

BIG SANDY, Texas--These are the Feast of Tabernacles sites The Journal was aware of at press time. Many small sites are sponsored by in-home fellowships that did not contact The Journal for this listing. Information for the listing comes from www.olivebranches.net, Servants' News, other Web sites and information sent directly to The Journal.

Unless otherwise stated, each listing represents a Feast observance beginning Friday evening, Sept. 20, and continuing through Saturday, Sept. 28 (referred to as the Last Great Day or Great Last Day in many Churches of God).

The listing abbreviates the Church of God International (CGI), Intercontinental Church of God (ICG), Living Church of God (LCG), United Church of God an International Association (UCG) and Worldwide Church of God (WCG). Note that some phone numbers refer to a church's headquarters in the United States rather than a local Feast contact.
