If it rains, we will cancel and reschedule.
The Sunday, April 12, online Feast registration begins. Everyone is concerned about
the coronavirus and how it might affect the Feast of Tabernacles. The Church will
proceed with normal plans, but there are 3 major areas to consider.
Registration
We recommend that if you know where you plan to attend that you register for that
Feast site as you normally would. This will help the Church in planning.
Housing Reservations
Making hotel reservations should be fine as they normally only require a one-night
deposit and the cancellation without penalty is usually within a week of the Feast.
The majority of hotels are open for reservations and a list of those that are closed
through the month of April will be provided, but you can always call to make sure.
Condominiums and homes normally require higher initial deposits and some are not refundable.
Carefully review the cancellation policies of any condominium or homes before committing a deposit.
Airfare
There might be some great deals right now, but be sure you understand the cancellation
policy. If an airline provides cancellation insurance make sure of the allowable parameters
to receive a refund. Coronavirus might not be included.
