Announcements
Feast sites for 2024 are listed
online. Many international sites are already open for registration. Here are the key dates:
Mar 31 -
The 2024
Festival Planning Brochure is now available online. It should start arriving
at members' homes the second week of April. Please read the instructions before making
housing reservations. There will be two phases of online registration this year -- which
won't begin until after Passover. The first phase is for members who must attend
their closest site and the second phase is for general membership. See details in the
Festival Planning Brochure. If you have Feast-related questions, you can write to Festival@ucg.org.
Apr 28 -
First Round of Online Registration Begins (for members who must be accepted to their closest site)
Apr 28 -
Early Housing Reservations Begin (for those who qualify (4 rules))
1) You must attend your closest site.
2) Handicapped - this includes those who absolutely must have a handicapped room, first floor room or no steps. However, if all the properties have elevators, the need may not exist.
3) Financial - this is to make sure less expensive rooms are available to those who actually need them. If people who can afford more expensive rooms took all the cheaper rooms, some would not be able to attend.
4) Families of six or more - this is for families who live together at home, not a sister who lives out of state and another brother who might live in the same town as the parents, but who lives in his own apartment. Groups and families (not living in the same household) getting together at the Feast should wait until Thursday, May 2.

Char House (531 7th St. W. in St. Paul). The maximum number is 36. We will be
able to order individually from their menu and we can arrive around 7:00 for
drinks and appetizers, so dinner will be closer to sundown. Mancini's website

Love Is Love? Or God Is Love?
People think they can define what is love regarding sexual behavior. But, this role belongs purely to our Creator. | Gary Petty | April 28 - May 4, 2024 |

Is Anger Destroying Your Life?
This emotion can be highly destructive or be used in a positive way with God’s help to create goodwill and peace. | Gary Petty | May 5 - 11 |

Read the Book
Studies reveal a large gap between what many Christians think the Bible says and what it really teaches. Study to know the truth! | Steve Myers | May 12 - 18 |

Globalism and Prophecy
The Bible predicts the fall of the global economic system and the rise of a despotic world empire described as the beast. | Gary Petty | May 19 - 25 |
