"And it shall come to pass, that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles."   Zech. 14:16

Feast of Tabernacles—2004
September 30 to October 7

     The Church of God in Miami invites you to join us this year 2004 to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles at Orlando, Florida (vacation capital of the world).

     The warm Florida weather and all the many attraction parks and activities in the area will be the background for the gathering of God’s people coming together to celebrate His Feast listening to powerful uplifting sermons and praising God with beautiful music.

     You will find the fellowship of old friends at the same time you meet new like-minded brethren coming together to celebrate the Feast.

     Mr. John Shavers from the Church of God New Mexico will join us again this year to deliver powerful sermons for the people of God congregated there.

     After long research we were able to find a place to accommodate our worship services every day and with nice accommodations at very reasonable prices for everyone to enjoy.

     Services will be held every morning at 11:00 AM at the Howard Johnson Plaza Resort and Conference Center Universal Gateway located at 7050 South Kirkman Rd., Orlando, Fl.  32819-8284
