The Feasts

The Sanctuary is a feast keeping ministry committed to proclaiming the feast of God. They are holy convocations that are commanded in holy scriptures. The observance of the feast identifies those who belong to God, they identify His earthly children, His set apart people. They are a sign. And they are appointed times that our King, the Messiah showed up for, and will show up for again for His Final Reign. This fellowship will be present at the appointed times of our Kings return. We have provided here the times of the rehearsal. They are 3 times a year a believer is to “gather” as a fellowship to honor these appointed times, they are: Feast of Passover, Feast of Pentecost and Feast of Booths. This fellowship recognize these times as ‘The Ingathering.” Please see the next time we show up for the appointed rehearsals below. You don’t want this sacred time of fellowship, family and fun.
