Feast Guidelines

Feast Guidelines

We at Yahweh's Restoration Ministry want you to have a Feast to remember. That is why we have set these guidelines. They are presented not only for order, but also for protecting everyone and making the Feast enjoyable for all. We present them here so that you will know what to expect at the Feast.

Proper Feast Conduct Is Important

We at Yahweh's Restoration Ministry do not "speak in tongues" as is commonly practiced, and therefore it is not in our services. If you believe in doing so, we ask that you respect our beliefs in this regard while at the Feast.

All speakers are pre-selected to give messages at the Feast. We will not be adding others to the speaking rostrum. We do, however, want to have brethren involved and will be needing men to moderate and give Psalms and prayers.

When a speaker is delivering his message please show respect and refrain from interrupting him. If you have a question, ask it after services. Please also try to remain in your seats during the message. It is distracting to the speaker and to those listening if some are wandering around the meeting hall during a sermon. If you must get up, please do so as quietly as possible.

All parents please watch your children during the Feast and especially at services. We expect all parents to have their children under control. We understand that children are children and that they have a need to play and have fun--but the meeting hall is not the place. They will have abundant opportunities and appropriate times to do just that.

During the Sabbaths and High Days children are to be in services with their parents. We will have special classes for the children at other times throughout the Feast.

The primary reason we attend the Feasts is to learn about Yahweh's will for us. Therefore, everyone should want to attend the scheduled services. We dedicate this time to Yahweh and believe that avoiding services is disrespectful to Him. We understand that sometimes brethren simply cannot attend some services for personal reasons.

Musical instruments are welcomed accompaniment during the song services, and will be played in front of the congregation.

All women attending services are expected to wear a head covering (1st Corinthians 11). If you do not have one we can provide one for you.

How to Address Problems

If you have a problem or need, we ask that you to take it up with a camp monitor. Yahweh's Restoration Ministry appoints certain men to help the brethren throughout the feast. Please bring your questions or problems to them and not to the campground staff. If you have a question for the campground staff, please tell the camp monitor. He will relay any necessary information to the camp, and then get back with you. The camp monitor's job is to make everything run as smoothly as possible by being responsive to your needs.
