St Petersburg, Florida
Feast Site Cancelled - Urgent Update
After much investigation and contact with the authorities in the area of Pinnellas County, including the sheriff’s office and Pinnellas County Emergency Services and locals in the area, it has been determine the area will be under duress for some time and will not be suitable to facilitate the Feast of Tabernacles for CGI this year in St. Petes.
So, it is with sadness and disappointment the CGI is officially canceling the St. Petersburg Feast site this year. We would encourage all of you that planned to attend, to as soon as you can, cancel your reservation at this location.
However, there are some alternatives. We have made arrangements for a back-up location for the Florida area–-
The new site in Florida will be at the Auburndale CGI located at 553 E Bridgers Ave Auburndale 33823. Plans have already started being made but we want to give you plenty of time to cancel your reservations and make new reservations at the Auburndale location or elsewhere. You can Contact Ray Wendle 863 224 4730 or Larry Sharp 863 533 3525
