Memories of Memorable 2007 Feast of Tabernacles in Estonia

What a phenomenal Feast of Tabernacles we had in Estonia!  Some commented that this was their best one in 39 years.  Others said that it was great for getting to know people. Others were surprised about all that Estonia had to offer in things to see, comfort and convenience. 

We had 47 people signed up for Estonia this year and spent half the time in the college town of Tartu and the other half on the Island of Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea.  There we stayed at a Spa Hotel that everyone thought was great -- from the pools, massages, peace and great breakfasts.  For me and Bev personally, it was a wonderful time to spend time with our son, daughter-in-law and two lovely grandchildren, Alyssa and Elena.

Sermons were given by Victor Kubik, Johnnie Lambert and Paul Spenser. We had special music every day and give special thanks to Karen Allwine for arranging for the music every day.   We also had sermonettes by Gail Allwine, Bryant Lambert, Michael Kubik, Howard West and Paul Spenser. All speaking was on message about the coming Kingdom of God.

A highlight was the baptism of Vello Saar on Saaremaa.  Vello was born here and fled with his parents from the oncoming Russians during World War II.

Guests came from the United States, England, Scotland, Sweden, Latvia and Estonia.  Enjoy some of the photos below....
