SUKKOT CELEBRATION

Jacob’s Hope—the Messianic Jewish ministry of the Assemblies of God World Missions—joined the Independent Living residents and staff of Maranatha Village on September 28 to celebrate the Sukkot holiday. The Bible presents Sukkot as the Feast of Booths or the Feast of Tabernacles.

Jacob’s Hope ministry, directed by Brent and Bonnie Johnson, led the group in a time of teaching, prayer, rejoicing, food, and fellowship. Prior to the event, staff and volunteers—with the help of Lodge residents who created some fine artwork—decorated a small room at the Community Center in the likeness of a Sukkah booth.
