(for pictures of campground see link below...)
33 Yahweh said to Moses, 34 "Say to the Israelites: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month
Yahweh's Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. 35 The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. 36 For seven days present offerings made to
Yahweh by fire, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made to
Yahweh by fire. It is the closing assembly; do no regular work. Lev 23:33-36
13 Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress. 14 Be joyful at your Feast--you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites, the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the Feast to
Yahweh your Elohim at the place Yahweh will choose. For Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
Deut 16:13-15

Assembly rules of conduct During the Feast:
1. The Feast of Tabernacles is Set-Apart (Holy) to our Heavenly Father Yahweh; therefore we do not argue or defile the feast by discussing issues that bring about contention. We believe that we can discuss any issue however it must be done in an orderly and respectful manner. Remember that the Feast gives us an opportunity to focus on our relationship with our Heavenly Father Yahweh and our Savior. In other words 'less of us and more of Yahweh and Yahshua!'
2. If any member or visitor has an issue of doctrine that is different from what we believe (statement of faith), the presenter will present it to a council of judges composed of 'all' the men (20 years and older) who are present at the Feast. The men will than dedicate themselves to review, study, discuss, and pray about the matter. If the decision that favors the presenter is reached by all the men of the assembly, the matter will be put to a yearly review after which the assembly will present it as a doctrine. At no time will the presenter be allowed to disseminate or present the doctrine in question in any other manner or to anyone that is not noted above. We follow these principles as a means to protect the children of the assembly from confusion and to provide them a non-chaotic environment. In addition we believe that it is our duty to maintain order and stability within the Feast and the assembly. Remember that the Feast is to be dedicated to our Heavenly Father and our Savior Yahweh, doctrinal reviews should be completed at a separate time.
3. We are an assembly that supports and believes that the Names of our Heavenly Father and Savior are a key to gaining wisdom and spiritual growth. Therefore the members of the assembly have agreed that anybody that speaks or is invited to speak during the Feast 'must' utilize the sacred names while giving the message. However, the assembly has also agreed that during the 'Special offering' part of our services and since we receive many visitors who are new to the Sacred Names or who are just learning about them, in those cases we will allow those individuals to give offerings, if they so desire, using the common titles. We do not believe nor do we support that the Names of our Heavenly Father and Savior should be used as a whip or weapon against those individuals that are in the infancy part of their walk. We believe that we must lead by example not by force.
4. We hold that the ministers of the assembly are to guide the 'assembly' in spiritual and scriptural matters and that whenever needed they can counsel (give advise) to the brethren who request it. However we believe that each and every men is responsible for ensuring that their families are guided and are walking in the 'ways' of our Heavenly Father and Savior. The men are to seek purity by staying away from sinful behavior such as pornography, drinking, gambling, carousing, etc. They are not to be abusers of their wives and/or children. They are to assist their wives in creating a learning, stable and peaceful environment in their homes so that they can then transfer the same to the Feast.
5. Based on the commandment that we are to raise the children in the way they should go, we believe that the children are the center of the assembly; our assembly therefore functions with their interest at heart. We encourage our children to participate in assembly functions by leading us in music, by giving messages and by making them feel and know that they are a part of something special. We are not raising our children to be in a religion but we are raising them to adopt the ways of Yahweh as a way of life! Remember that kids copy what the adults do, therefore you are to be at your best behavior as you come before Yahweh during this 8 days of Praise!
6. We ask that all members and visitors dress appropriately whenever in the presence of the assembly. Women are to dress decent and with non-revealing clothes, men are not required to wear suits or ties but their clothes should also be appropriate; all clothing should fall under the guidelines of being decent and clean. Regarding head coverings, we believe that women should wear them as part of their attire but we do not admonish nor criticize anyone that is not so convicted. Again we want to lead by example not by force.
