FESTIVAL OF BOOTHS
What better way to celebrate a Year of the Bible than with a Biblical Festival?? At Tabor Mennonite Church, we let our imaginations run wild and dreamed about what it would be like to celebrate a contemporary version of the Biblical Festival of Booths. On September 13-14, our dreams became reality as our church park was transformed into a Festival full of many different booths: A Petting Zoo, Haircuts, Chariot Check, Scripture Snapshots, Farmer’s Market, Bubble Play, and more! The evening included a delicious supper of Shepherd’s Pie, a fun movie, and a number of families even camped overnight. We gathered in the park again on Sunday morning for a final celebration service to give thanks for God’s presence with us through our yearlong journey through the Bible.
