FEAST REPORT
FEAST OF TABERNACLES 2010
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
The Destiny of Hope Ministries in collaboration with the Church of God International is pleased to report another wonderful Feast of Tabernacles in Baltimore, Maryland. Brethren from Ohio, Texas, New York, Connecticut, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, Canada, Trinidad, Barbados, Jamaica and the surrounding areas of Maryland were in attendance. A total of sixty-five in attendance. Forty-Five to Forty-seven gathered on the High Holy Days and the weekly Sabbath, while a steady 35-37 gathered on non-Holy Days.
The testimonies that came forth, expressed the enrichment of the Word of God as presented by the various speakers, such as Pastor George Ramocan, Pastor Mike James, Elder Lewis Williams, Brother Ray Hall, Pastor Stanley DeVeaux and Deacon Gary Haegerich. Special Music renditions and piano selections were some of the highlights of the Feast. A real “GROUP” of eight Feast Singers rehearsed this year and made two wonderful renditions.
Pastor Woodland had announced that on the Last Great Day there would be a prayer session for those that are sick in body, going through economical crises, and/or family challenges. Many signed the prayer sheet during the week and came forth in large numbers on the Last Great Day as the Pastor Woodland and other Elders anointed with Oil and prayed. It was a moving experience for everyone.
We were blessed to hold a Nutrition Seminar with Dr. Ingrid Espinet who gave everyone an opportunity to “Ask the Doctor.” These sessions were life changing for many, as well as educational. Brethren left inspired to change their diet and to take better care of themselves physically. The seniors’ Luncheon was also a delight. The food was superb and the music was great. Beverlie Woodland recited a poem entitled: Not Growing Old. The Feast photographer, Jemal Countess of New York generously gave of his services in service unto God. Such immeasurable charity for the people of God!
People are still talking about their experience of the love and warmth portrayed among the brethren as they interacted and fellowshipped together. Many have expressed their desire to attend in 2011.
