UCG FOT Greetings - Festival Greetings from France
A "grand bonjour" from 80 of your brothers and sisters keeping the Feast in France.
We are tremendously encouraged by our many visitors and the beautiful festival setting here in
central France. We've had exceptional weather -- in the 70s every day -- and fantastic French
cuisine. During family day we enjoyed learning some French and English as we played Biblical
charades with each English speaker introducing him/herself in French and the French speakers in
English. We've enjoyed inspiring messages about the Kingdom of God and are praying for a
successful Feast for our brethren around world.

Greetings from 65 enthusiastic brethren in Ulverstone, Tasmania, Australia.
While the weather is borderline cool with the sun making some headway against the cloud and rain, the
atmosphere inside is warm, even electric. We have been challenged as sojourners and pilgrims to step
up to the fullness of our calling by putting on the glory of our Great God. As we are reminded of the
wonderful blessings of the World Tomorrow, we need to be prepared to rule as Christ rules.
Taking advantage of multiple opportunities to fellowship, members have enjoyed sharing the traditional
Feast cake on Wednesday night, a Meet and Greet lavish afternoon tea on Thursday, and last night, a
fun filled meal and Cranium Games night.
May God's blessing continue on His Feast sites around the world.

Greetings from Sri Lanka - where 25 brethren are gathered on the beautiful and sunny Sri Lankan coast
at the Mermaid Hotel near the city of Kalutara.
The brethren here have a zeal to worship God. Three of the attendees have not kept the feast in five
years since their small group of Worldwide Church of God broke up. They heard about United Church of
God through a Good News meeting that Mr. Ken Murray held in Colombo, Sri Lanka last August. They
are very happy to be united with their church family. Four members are requesting and counseling for
baptism this feast! There is much excitement as we are praising God and looking forward to His
Kingdom coming! They send YOU, their sisters and brothers around the world -- greetings and much
love.

To all those keeping the Feast around the world!
Seventy loving brethren from Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Sweden, Germany, the Isle of
Man and the United States gathered on the Estonian island of Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea in unity and
peace to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. The weather has been perfect, although a bit cool. Thirty-five
percent of the attendees are 21 and under. Family atmosphere has dominated the mood of the Feast.
The messages have focused on the coming new world, family and respect for human government. Today
we will view the Feast video from the home office.
We held a story telling night in which many of those who lived under Communism in the USSR told
about their lives and faith in the days of the USSR.
All of us are rejoicing and wish everyone a wonderful Feast of Tabernacles as well.

UCG FOT Greetings - Festival Greetings from Robin Webber /
Escondido Ca
Fellow Members of the Body of Christ around the world,
Greetings from what is affectionately called "Mauii East." The Escondido, California Feast Site started out
in a dynamic and loving way in a new facility in the same general complex used for many years. People
really enjoy the light, bright, cheery feel and intimacy that the Convention Center brings to us. 500
members were challenged to fully appreciate their calling as a Kingdom of Priests in training, here and
now, to live by the principles of the Wonderful World Tomorrow. We have people attending that were at
the recent Kingdom of God seminars and new friend simply visiting for the first time. We are worshipping
God and fellowshipping with one another in lovely mid-80 degree temperatures throughout this festival
period. May God bless and keep each of you.
Robin Webber

Hello, from 120 of us from the “Satellite Feast Site in Tempe Arizona”. We have Feast fever!
Everyone is excited, desiring to serve one another. We are experiencing a type of coming out of this
current government for 8 days, to seek God’s government now and forever, through the messages and
through the attitudes that God has inspired here through His Holy Spirit. We had a very nice offering of
$6,289.
We are praying and thinking of you, desiring that God will continue to bless all of you to have an

Greetings:
Beautiful fall weather greeted festival attendees here on Canada's west coast (Abbotsford British
Columbia)
designated as a "satellite site" ... The first Holy Day had 52 in attendance, many elderly, some in
wheelchairs.
Those brethren unable to travel long distances may well have had to stay home to observe this
year's feast.
Page 6 of 15
All were thrilled with the opportunity to observe the festival so close to home. We have
attendees from three congregations
including members from just across the Canada-US border in Washington state.
And this small congregation on Canada's west coast.. wants to wish each and everyone of our our
fellow brethren around
the world a wonderful Feast of Tabernacles, 2011.

Very Warm Greetings from 25 of your brothers and sisters keeping the Feast in Agra, India.
Page 7 of 15
Several of the brethren here have been attending Sabbath Services for several years and have never
been able to attend a Feast of Tabernacles so this Feast has truly been a blessing to all!
The first half of the feast the brethren were inspired and encouraged by DVD messages from Mr. Melvin
Rhodes and Mr. Ken Murray. Jolinda and I arrived on Sunday evening to enjoy the Feast Variety Show
made up of native dance and songs. Monday was family day and we bowled and played table soccer.
None of the brethren have ever bowled before -- and they really enjoyed it. That evening we played the
Feast Family Giving Game -- and even though there was a language barrier between some of us -- we all
played and laughed out loud in the same language!
All the brethren send you their greetings, love and deep appreciation for the generous gifts you have
given that allowed them to keep the Feast and enjoy this foretaste of God's coming kingdom.

SALUDOS FOT 2011.ppsx
Saludos Hermanos:
En Guatemala, hemos estado disfrutando de una inspiradora y muy especial Fiesta de Tabernaculos
2011. Se mantiene el mismo patron, cada Fiesta es mejor que la del año anterior. Los sermones han sido
muy inspiradores y alentadores, se han enfocado en el inminente retorno de nuestro Señor Jesucristo a
instaurar su Eterno Gobierno y Reino, como la unica solucion para la Paz, Felicidad y Bienestar Mundial.
Hemos preparado el siguiente archivo para compartir con ustedes algunas reflexiones de los hermanos,
esperamos con esto compartir nuestra alegria y sentimientos de FE y GRATITUD con nuestro Gran DIOS.
No tenemos palabras para explicar los Milagros que DIOS nos ha concedido para que todos estemos
juntos Celebrando su fiesta. Las Carreteras hacia el lugar de reunion fueron obstruidas por el copioso
invierno que afecta al pais, pero Milagrosamente DIOS nos abrio el Camino, como cuando lo hizo con el
Pueblo de Israel en el Exodo de Egipto y no obstante que la lluvia ha sido el denominador comun de
estos dias, en las actividades planificadas al aire libre, como "El dia Familiar", "La Fogata" y "El Tour por
la Bahia de Atitlan", las lluvias se detuvieron justo en el desarrollo de estas actividades, y cuando
terminaron las actividades, DIOS permitio que la lluvia retornara nuevamente.
Con estas experiencia queremos compartirles nuestro AGRADECIMIENTO A NUESTRO GRAN DIOS y que
hemos recibido GRANDES LECCIONES que FORTALECEN NUESTRA FE y FIDELIDAD hacia DIOS!!!
Saludos cariñosos.
