Friends,

Attached is this week's Home Office Weekly Update, Prophetic Times: Weekly Reader of World News, and Perspective. The last announcement in this week’s Home Office Update is seeking volunteers to serve on a Feast of Tabernacles Input Committee. Interested? Here are the details.

We are looking for volunteers to join the Feast of Tabernacles Input Committee for 2025. This is an opportunity for experienced professionals in meeting planning, conferences, and hospitality to provide valuable input and ideas for enhancing the Feast of Tabernacles.

Purpose. The committee will gather to exchange ideas and provide professional input on how we can continue to improve the Feast of Tabernacles each year. Your insight and experience will help guide planning efforts and help ensure we provide an excellent experience for all attendees.

Experience. We are looking for individuals who have professional experience in event planning, particularly in the corporate or association sectors, or in the hospitality industry, such as hotels and travel.

Requirements. Applicants must be baptized members of the United Church of God. Please note that spouses of UCG members may apply, but applicants cannot be current employees of the United Church of God.

Expectations. The committee will meet three times a year via web connection, and members may be tasked with specific research projects or other delegated responsibilities. Each committee member will serve between 12 to 18 months, after which re-application will be required if you wish to continue serving.

Why Volunteer? In light of the significant changes in event planning and hospitality that have taken place in the post-COVID world, we are looking to tap into the expertise of our members. Your professional insight will help us navigate challenges related to culture, technology, and affordability—as we continue to improve the Feast of Tabernacles.

Please note, this committee is not a decision-making body or site selection team, but rather a group focused on offering input and suggestions to guide the planning process.

If you have the experience and passion to help shape the future of our Feast of Tabernacles observances, we encourage you to apply. Your contribution could make a real difference in how we plan for the Feast of Tabernacles in 2025.

To apply, please contact Charles Melear at charles_melear@ucg.org

Read well,
