Celebrate Christ W CG members met around the world to celebrate Christ during the 1998 Festival. A number were inspired to commit or recommit their lives to their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As a result, there is a renewed urgency to serve our risen Lord and become colleagues in the cause of Christ. Pastor General Joseph Tkach and his family spent the Feast in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Communion services Several sites had communion services.
Mr. Parker showed how historical data indicates early Christians took the Lord's Supper nearly every time they assembled. Bringing people to Christ In Lexington, Kentucky, district superintendent Robert Persky offered a prayer and commissioning for 150 who felt called by God to be used in an evangelistic way to bring people to Christ. Most pastors came forward to be commissioned and to pray for and commission others. In Athens, Greece, an international group viewed the modern and ancient city of Athens. The conference took place just outside Athens in a facility in which every door and window opened to the Aegean Sea.
