Feast of Tabernacles 2014
Utica, Illinois - October 8-16, 2014
Site Summary
Nestled in the wooded natural beauty of Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Lodge,
The Active Bible Church of God will again observe God's Feast of
Tabernacles here at Grizzly Jack's!. Located along I-80,
Grizzly Jack's is only 88
minutes from downtown Chicago. Yet, it offers the peace, tranquility,
and natural beauty of the Starved Rock State Park in this
lovely setting, offering a rustic ambience but all of the expected
modern amenities in the cabins, suites, and villas, along with a few
extras. We are a small group, but have a strong belief in
going all out to make God's Feast an uplifting, spirit-filled,
foretaste of the Feast to Come in God's Kingdom.
Daily Services
All Worship services will be held in the Grand Bear Room of the Grand
Bear Lodge. We have traditional services consisting of an
opening prayer and congregational hymn singing , daily announcements,
special music performed by Festival participants (Please let us know
what your talents are and what you would like to play or sing during
the services), and, at the center of all services, is a Scripture-based
sermon designed to uplift teach, and encourage. Interactive Bible
studies are planned, and some of these will be held in the cabins
during the evenings. Our schedule is full, but not so full
that you will have no time to relax or explore the Utica area on your
own or in groups.

Thank You!! Why? Because we
need an approximate count of how many will be attending so that we can
adequately prepare the daily meals for all of our attendees. These
meals have been one of the highlights of the Festival!!
