More than 400 brethren gathered to celebrate a truly uplifting Feast of Tabernacles in the scenic coastal town of Aransas Pass, Texas. The Feast was marked by an extraordinary spirit of unity and cooperation, with a team of dedicated volunteers ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly this year. 

Each day, inspiring messages guided us toward a deeper anticipation of the coming Kingdom of God and encouraged us to live with purpose in our calling now. In addition to these daily messages, preteens participated in the Festival Youth Instruction class, while teens and young adults enjoyed their own Feast Bible studies, receiving tailored spiritual nourishment throughout the week. 

The Feast was filled with activities for every age group. Families explored the Texas State Aquarium and took an insightful tour of the USS Lexington aircraft carrier museum, where teens embraced the challenge of high-tech escape rooms. Young adults experienced the wonder of nighttime illuminated glass-bottom kayaking across the bay, and many delighted in the sandy shores of Mustang Island along with the local cuisine. A family dance and fun night closed the week with joy, offering delicious food, lively fellowship, games for the kids and a dance floor enjoyed by all. 

A special highlight was the senior luncheon, honoring our cherished elders for their years of faithful service and devotion. 

God’s abundant blessings were felt and deeply appreciated by everyone attending in Aransas Pass this year.
