July 14, 2022 UPDATE:
Estonia has again revised its travel restrictions. No proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test is needed to enter the country as of July 1, 2022.
The Netherlands still requires vaccinations, but as a transit passenger, the Schipole airport waives that requirement. The United States has also dropped the requirement of a negative antigen test to re-enter the USA.
For additional information, please contact Johnnie Lambert (johnnie_lambert@ucg.org) or Tim Martens (tim_martens@ucg.org).
Come, join us for a joyful Feast!
May 18, 2022 UPDATE:
The 2022 Feast of Tabernacles in Estonia is OPEN!
The travel rules have changed. Vaccination is not necessary if the traveler has a PCR test within 48-hours of arrival in Estonia, OR has medical proof of COVID recovery within six months prior to the Feast. Estonia is a small but delightful site that serves members in several Eastern European and Scandinavian countries.
We can use a few more people to make the Feast in Estonia viable:
• a sound technology person,
• a couple of sermonette speakers, and
• a sermon speaker.
It doesn’t cost anything to make a hotel room reservation at the gorgeous Feast site and a rental car is not necessary. For more information contact Johnnie Lambert johnnie_lambert@ucg.org or Tim Martens Tim_Martens@ucg.org
This site description is based on the continued relaxing of travel requirements throughout the European Union. Booking at the hotel does NOT require advance payment of any kind and no penalty for cancellation.
For a delightful, peaceful, and safe European experience, consider the 2022 Feast of Tabernacles on the Baltic island of Saaremaa. Estonia is located next to Russia and the other Baltic Republics and is near Scandinavia. Estonia has been largely transformed since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. The crumbling ruins of failed collective farms still emphatically testify to the utter failure of atheistic Communism (Psalms 14: 1).
Estonia is an economically developed modern country by first world standards. Reflecting modern expectations, the venue for the Feast is the highly rated Georg Ots Spa Hotel (www.gospa.ee), located in a millennial setting in the coastal city of Kuressaare on the island of Saaremaa. Brethren from more than seven countries are expected, giving a great opportunity to share cultures and life stories of their unique calling and survival.
Attendees stay in the same hotel and eat meals together which offers time to fellowship and bond. Language is no barrier as most people from the Eastern European countries speak a modicum of English. There is usually someone nearby to translate conversations if necessary. All services will be in English with translation as needed.
No car is needed, as there are nearby shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions within easy walking distance of the hotel. Group visits to tourist sites are planned. If desired, taxis at reasonable rates are readily available.
Travel information and registration:
Most international visitors will fly to Tallinn, capital of Estonia. From Tallinn to Saaremaa is a four-hour comfortable coach ride (which includes a one-hour ferry crossing), allowing a view of the Estonian countryside. The bus ticket costs about 20€each way. Air flights with a limited schedule and limited luggage weight may also be available from Tallinn to Kuressaare two times per day on most days for approximately 55€ round trip. The website for the commuter airline is saartelennuliinid.ee.
The medieval walled city of Tallinn (known as the City of Dan) is interesting historically and architecturally. If your schedule allows, we recommend a visit.
Additional information about charges for excursions and group meals are available by e-mailing the festival coordinator, Johnnie Lambert, at fotestonia@gmail.com, or by calling 607 796 2669. Please register online.
Please join us for a memorable and enjoyable Feast of Tabernacles!
