Greetings to all Panama City Beach Feastgoers for 2013,

Everything is proceeding well for the 2013 FOT preparations at Panama City Beach. There are still many things to do and I'm busy trying to take care of the basic logistical needs of the site. We hope this will be your Feast ever, just as it should be. As we get closer to the Feast, I'll share more of the essential needs we will have. We'll be asking for volunteers in about a month or two. Thanks for your patience in this.

All the best,

Jerold Aust

Feast Coordinator, PCB, 2013 

Another economy lodging property has been added for Oceanside, CA.  Here is their information.

Art Exhibit

Once again this year, there will be an art exhibit at the Dells showcasing the various artistic talents of the brethren.  Plan on bringing your submissions of paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, poetry, woodwork and more!  Details of what we can exhibit and who to contact prior to the Feast will be posted later.

Senior Luncheon

All seniors, age 62 and older, are invited to attend a special luncheon to be held on Tuesday, September 24th, at 1pm at the Glacier Canyon Lodge Conference Center at the Wilderness Resort, 45 Hillman Road (same location as last year).

Because of budget constraints, we are no longer able to provide this activity at no cost to the seniors.  We are still working on the menu, but we are planning a buffet to be served by the teens and young adults.  Live music will also be provided.  The cost for the meal should be in the $15 per person range, and tickets will be sold on Sunday (9/22) and Monday (9/23).

Donations are welcome to help defray the cost of the luncheon for the seniors, and more information will be provided as we draw closer to the Feast.

Teen Bible Study

There will be a Teen Bible study hosted at the Crystal Grand Theatre Friday evening (9/20) at 7:30pm.  Bring your Bible or Christian Living related questions - and be prepared to answer a few from the ministry!

Teen Orientation

There will be an orientation for all teens and parents of teens on 9/15 (Friday) at 9:15am in the Crystal Grand Green Room!  We will be providing an overview of the teen activities available during the Feast as well as handing out and explaining the service coupons.

Young Adult Brunch

A brunch is being planned for the Young Adults on the morning of the first Holy Day.  There are no reservations and the brunch should be just under $17.  Come join other YA's for a wonderful morning of food and fellowship to kick off the Feast! 

More information on this event will be posted as the Feast draws closer.
