“In 2008 the Intercontinental Church of God
(Australia) will be observing the Feast of Tabernacles from 14 October
to 21 October at a new site on Port Stephens, New South Wales. The new
site, located at Shoal Bay, near to the Heads of Port Stephens, is the
Shoal Bay Holiday Park. The location of the Holiday Park is accurately
described from it's own website as below:
http://www.beachsideholidays.com.au/shoalBay.phtml
"Directly opposite one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast
of Australia, Shoal Bay Holiday Park is ideal for short breaks or an
extended stay.
The gentle aquamarine waters and
the clean white sand of Shoal Bay provide a perfect swimming beach that
the kids love and, within just two minutes walk you find the picture
postcard village of Shoal Bay with cafes, shops, restaurants and clubs".
The Shoal Bay Holiday Park is one of several operated by the Port
Stephens Local Council and includes a very attractive conference centre
that we will be using for the Feast.
There is a range of cabin accommodation at the Park as well as powered
caravan sites. The Feast in 2008 commences a few days after school
holidays conclude so that it falls in a period called the "High" season
on the "Rates" page of the Park's website. Depending on the cabin class
chosen, rates for the eight days are likely to range from $1100 for the
top "Outrigger" cabins to $500 for the "Safari Bungalows". Powered
caravan site will be around $400 (with ensuite facility at the site)
and $250 for a straight powered sites. Official rates will not be
published for this period till early 2008. Bookings can be made at any
time and should be made early as this is a popular location. There may
be a prospect of obtaining a discount on the accommodation when booking
if you mention you are attending the ICG conference. It won’t hurt to
ask.
As well as onsite accommodation there is a great deal of “off site”
accommodation available, often for very competitive prices. There are
accommodation web sites on this page.
The Feast in 2008 will feature fine sermons from GTA and other speakers.
We will have a number of the activities available again that have
featured in past years and proved popular. Anyone choosing to stay at
the Feast site Holiday Park may however find it difficult to venture
further than the beautiful Shoal Bay Beach just across the road!
We look forward to seeing everyone there and welcoming overseas visitors
and new attendees."
For those new to the truth of God's Holy Days and the
Feast in particular there are a number of helpful audio sermons and
booklets available. Please feel free to
request the audio sermon "The
First Great Edict" or see it
here and the booklets "
How Seasonal Holy Days Reveal God's Plan " and "
Why God Commands Our Presence At His Feast
". Both
booklets are on the
website.
Please advise your intent to attend to help us with planning. |
