Remembering Feast of Tabernacles 2010
The Brethren of the Christian Church of God in Grand Junction, Colorado have enjoyed hosting the Feast of Tabernacles for ten years now. In the first years, when our former leadership was abandoning Feast-keeping, our hope was to provide a place for the rest of us to follow God's Sabbath-keeping commands (Lev. 23). Since then our Feasts have continued each year, Feasts where brethren can grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.
Again in 2010, the Feast will be
held at the Wine Country Inn in Palisade, Colorado. This is a first rate
hotel, allowing attendees to stay in the same facility where
services are held. This eliminates the need to 'commute' to services. It also saves the trouble of finding a breakfast before services, as the hotel includes a top quality full breakfast buffet with each night’s stay. Reduced rates are
available to attendees. Advance registration and reservations
are highly recommended. Contact us for an information and
registration packet, or see below for downloadable items.

After that first Feast in 2000, we came to realize that we had to disassociate from the WCG in order to continue following God's instructions and the lead of the Holy Spirit. We have become an independent Church of God congregation since 2002. As a result, we are able to invite all brethren who are called to God's truth and purpose to join us for Feast-keeping. (See our Statement of Beliefs below.)
Invited speakers base their messages on the abundant scriptures which reveal the plan our awesome God has for the salvation of mankind.

It seems that each year, keeping the Feast advances our understanding of Scripture. And where else is it possible to enjoy fellowship, spiritual conversation and the fat of the land all at once! Only at God's appointed Feasts. Many come to Grand Junction every year. We just love to provide the best Feast experience we can for every attendee. If you decide to join us, expect that atmosphere of brotherly love spoken of in 1Pet. 1:22 “you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,...”
The town of Palisade is
located 10 miles east of Grand Junction on Interstate-70. The Grand Junction airport (GJT) terminates direct
flights from Dallas, Salt Lake and Phoenix. Amtrak and
Greyhound also offer service into Grand Junction. We'll pick you up from the terminal if you like! You may do just fine without a car rental. View this video about the area presented by the Wine Country Inn.
Greet your friends. Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together
in unity!

It is not just for our enjoyment. It is because we are called to learn from God's holy days. An so we will be helpful servants for the people in the Millennium.
God instituted a system which will teach people during the millenial and post millenial age to recognize the consequences of sin, and to resist sin. This leads them to conversion and faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice. Eventually all believing persons are blessed in Abrahamic faith, and all enemies of God are destroyed. Our Father comes to Earth to live with His Children!

2009 FEAST OF
TABERNACLES
2009 was OUR TENTH
ANNIVERSARY providing a Feast site on the
Western Slope of the Colorado Rockies!
Keeping God's Feast is so
pleasant: Psalm 133 1 Behold, how
good and how pleasant it is
For
brethren to dwell together in unity!
2It is
like the precious oil upon the head,
Running
down on the beard,
The beard
of Aaron,
Running
down on the edge of his garments. 3It is
like the dew of Hermon,
Descending
upon the mountains of Zion;
For there
the LORD commanded the blessing—
Life
forevermore.
New King James Version
One attendee from 2009 writes:
Letter from Dale:
The Christian Church of God at Grand Junction, Colorado
celebrated its 10 year anniversary of the Feast of Tabernacles
this year. This was my wife Colleenrs&quo;s, and my 7th
year of attendance there. Although each year has been
great, this really was a special F.O.T. for us.
Since the Worldwide Church of God changes, we have had doubts,
some indecision, questions, and “What do we do now?”
times. Also much praying, studying, and asking God’s
help, wisdom and understanding. It seemed to finally start
to come together late summer and fall.
The Feast sermons just seemed to finalize and solidify many
things for us, beginning with Pastor Del Leger’s opening
sermon and continuing with each speaker; all were very
good. Colleen and I felt as though we were finally
“coming home,” so to speak, spiritually. It was
a really good feeling; it’s good to be back. This Feast put
the icing on the cake.
Feast goers were from Colorado, California, Iowa, Wisconsin to
name a few places, who came for spiritual renewal, especially
since some of us are far from weekly services. This then
gives us our rare or only time of the year to meet with
like-thinking Christians.
All services and activities were held at the Wine Country Inn and
most attendees lodged there. Facilities and service were
excellent. Daily deluxe breakfasts and wine tastings were
included with lodging.
The Inn is surrounded by acres of vineyards as well as
Colorado’s famous peaches, and other fruit orchards.
It is located at Palisade, Colorado, just 10 miles from the
business and shopping center of Grand Junction, all in the
Colorado River Valley of western Colorado.
This is an area of great and varied scenic beauty. Close
and far-off vistas and many scenic sites are close by without the
high Rocky Mountain elevations.
Directly north of the facilities is the Palisade wall of the
Bookcliff Mountains, to the southeast the 10,000 ft. plateau of
the Grand Mesa dominates the views, an area with some 300
pristine lakes just a half hour drive in the car. The
Colorado National Monument is a half hour to the west, and
popular Glenwood Springs, with its historic hot springs and many
other attractions is within an hour’s drive to the
east.
A group of us hiked to a mica mine back in some great scenic
canyons one afternoon and some cliff hikes another day. On
our free day we took a tour bus to Glenwood Springs where several
fun options awaited us. There was river rafting, a cable
tramway to the top of a mountain where we could do an alpine
slide down the mountain, tour Glenwood Caverns plus much
more. Of course, the Glenwood Springs Pool offered swimming
in the hot mineral waters. (By the way, the famous gunman
Doc Holiday is buried at Glenwood Springs.)
Another day we enjoyed a senior banquet. This, along with
the tour bus, was provided as a gift of the Grand Junction
Christian Church of God. Very generous and much appreciated
by all.
We also enjoyed a dress-up dinner and dance one night and in the
beginning of the week a get-acquainted social. A good time
was had by all on every occasion.
As already mentioned, this was an excellent spiritual feast with
a great interactive Bible study also, group and one-on-one
discussions along with good fellowship. Inspiring? You better
believe it.
The local church makes available, free, many pamphlets as well as
short-subject booklets on various aspects of the Bible. They are
written by Pastor Del Leger. They are concise and very
informative.
This was a great Feast of Tabernacles, 2009. My only
complaint is that it was too short; can you believe – only
eight days.

Peter leaves Christians with warnings about troubles that will come in this age.
Comparison is made with the world to come, during the millenium period.
We believe in God the Father, eternally existing, Jesus Christ His Son through whom He created all things, and the Holy Spirit as the power of God.
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
We believe that the 10 commandments are in effect today as a set of instructions and God’s code of conduct.
We believe that salvation comes through grace alone and that we will be rewarded according to our works.
We believe that sin is the transgression of the law; that the penalty for sin is death; and that the penalty for sin was paid by Jesus Christ on the cross.
We believe that the Sabbath is the seventh day, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, appointed by God as a day of rest; and that the original apostles and the New Testament Church kept the seventh day Sabbath.
We believe that the annual holy days as described in Leviticus 23 picture the plan of God for mankind. By commemorating them we can better appreciate and understand our history and our future; and that they should be observed following the examples of the apostles and the New Testament Church.
We believe that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for our sins, then rose from His earthly tomb after 3 days and 3 nights and now sits at the right hand of God.
We believe in baptism by immersion following repentance of sins and the receipt of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands.
We believe in 3 resurrections: the righteous to everlasting life; the uncalled to a resurrection of physical life (following the Millennium); and the incorrigibly wicked to everlasting death in the lake of fire.
We believe in the pre-millennium, post wrath, return of Jesus Christ. That He will set up His kingdom and that the saints will reign with Him for 1,000 years. We believe that Christ will return to establish His Kingdom following the Great Tribulation.
We believe in the Biblical dietary laws regarding clean and unclean meats; that these laws were given for our health.
We believe in giving of tithes and free will offerings.
Come Worship with Us!
