Both ICG and LCG are having Feast of Tabenacles’ Sites in Myrtle Beach in 2007. It seems a little odd that WCG has decided to begin a conference there on a day they no longer recognize–the Last Great Day (see the article Is There “An Annual Worship Calendar” In the Bible?).

Under ordinations, it is interesting to notice that apparently (based upon my assessment of the first names) five of the eleven ordinations are for women.  This seems consistent with WCG’s recent changes in this area.  An article of possible interest may include Women and the New Testament Church.
