7 Days of Praise 2024
Where else can you find LIFE, JOY & PEACE…. except in HIS presence!
7 Days of Praise is happy to again host the Feast of Tabernacles Celebration for all of Ohio! This will be our 18th year celebrating together and we couldn’t be more excited about it!
1 week…7 Days…168 hours, 10,080 minutes and 604, 800 seconds… of communion with Him and His church through worship, prayer, lifting up His Word, fellowship, breaking bread, studying and relationship-focused. The Feast of Tabernacles is about celebrating: Perhaps more than any other Jewish holiday, Sukkot has an atmosphere of celebration and delight. In OT times, Deut 16:14-15 mentions that we are to “rejoice during this festival, and we do so by listening to festive music, talking about the meaning of the holiday, praying together, eating holiday food, and just relaxing inside the sukkah (little huts or tents) with family and friends” (https://hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Fall_Holidays/Sukkot/sukkot.html#loaded)
In NT times Jesus celebrated “The Feast”, so why shouldn’t we?
It’s an offering of our love for Him and a sacrifice to set aside this time each year, but He’s sooo worthy!!!
Seriously 168 hours??? A whole week??? Nonstop??? The answer is YES! YES!! YES!!!
But HOW: We recommend you put it on your calendar now …OCT 16 @ 7PM (btw- that’s a Wednesday) Without everyone planning to celebrate and just waiting to see if their schedule will open up, these Feast celebrations are simply not sustainable. So we encourage and invite you to plan to be a part of the Feast, not a spectator but a participant in it!
KEEP THE WATCH THROUGH WORSHIP, WORD & PRAYER:
Take a look at the schedule below to sign up to keep the ‘fire on the altar’ and the incense rising.
EXHORTER/BIBLE READER: This is for EVERYONE! For starters, we would love ALL who come to take at least 30 mins reading the Word of God. You, yes YOU can sign up to read the Word out loud (Exhorter/Bible Reader) & even pray into the Word, accompanied by a worship playlist… at the very least. Your child/family can also sign up to read passages. (Note: You must accompany your child if under the age of 12.)
WORSHIPPER/ LEADER- minstrels, aka worship leaders, musicians & singers, dancer, prophetic artist, poet…. If you fall into this category then we encourage you to come and share your gift and pour out of your alabaster boxes during this week til they are emptied out. Nothing compares to alone moments when it’s just us and Jesus in a time you have planned to lavish your love on Him and pour out your heart and soul onto His feet like oil!
GATEKEEPERS-Without ones who ‘watch and pray’, this gathering cannot be possible. Those who sign up to serve as a Gatekeeper, they are the secret sauce to 7 Days of Praise. They may not feel called or comfortable to sing or play an instrument, but they are instruments of hospitality and are excited to be ambassadors of His presence. Because they are the face you might see when no one else is in the room but Jesus, they serve such a vital role of welcoming first-time folks, and if necessary helping them to get connected and plugged in for the week. One of the perks of serving in this role is getting to witness firsthand, God move on hearts from a watchful place in the room. If interested in learning more of what else Gatekeepers are responsible for, you can speak to 3 of our faithful Gatekeepers, Reese, Shaun and Chris. There will be an opportunity to get trained as a Gatekeeper before 7 Days and also a workshop during the event as well.
