This page gives links and resources in an attempt to explain the scheduling of Holy Days for Congregational Fellowship of God – a Cooperative Network of Believers.  While some of us use the sighting of the first crescent to determine the dates of observance, others use the traditional calendar long used by the Churches of God.  Even though we do not always meet on the same days for Holy Days, we continue to meet together weekly on God’s Sabbath.
