If you have never celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles as a Christian, or if you have never celebrated the Feast with Rock Valley Christian Church, you may be wondering what to expect when you show up. A very clear instruction about what to do at the Feast of Tabernacles is shared in Leviticus 23:40: “And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.” We take this to heart at Rock Valley – we love to rejoice before our Lord! As Christians, we incorporate our worship of Jesus into this festival celebration. It’s a privilege the Israelites were never able to enjoy.
We will have a Worship Service every morning at the Feast that will incorporate prayer, contemporary worship music and hymns, special music offerings, scripture reading, and Feast-themed, Bible-based teaching. If you watch our Sabbath live stream, you can expect the Feast to provide the same Rock Valley worship experience. As volunteers step forward, we will plan opportunities for fellowship so we can all get to know one another better. We encourage you to plan get-togethers with friends new and old as much as you are able.
Other plans include Seminars, Teen Bible Studies, Youth Bible School, and various family and group activities. We’ll update our Feast Calendar as volunteers step forward and activities are planned.
Join us for the Feast if you want to enjoy…
8 days of worshipping God
8 days of learning more about God and His plans
8 days of time with your family
8 days of fellowship with other Christians
8 days of rejoicing with God and others

How can I help? Great question! We are unable to host a Feast site without many volunteers. The last few years it has been difficult to get enough volunteers, or the same people volunteered for many areas. Please consider helping so the workload is lighter for everyone. Volunteer opportunities will be shared via email with accepted attendees as we move forward with planning.
What should I wear? While we have never chosen to impose an attendee dress code at Rock Valley, we understand your desire to feel comfortable in a new situation. For worship services, we recommend a minimum of California business casual attire. (California business casual attire combines elements of casual clothing with more formal office wear, reflecting the laid-back yet professional culture of the state. It typically includes items like dress pants, dark jeans, blouses, button-up shirts, blazers, sport coats, dresses, skirts, and comfortable yet stylish shoes.) Dress pants or dark jeans with a button-up or blouse would be perfectly acceptable. If you feel more comfortable wearing a suit or dress, feel free to do so. We respectfully request no shorts for adults and no sports hats during the worship service. For other activities, as always, our general recommendation would be to dress comfortably, in a modest way befitting the situation.
