Around the Table: A Taste of Passover – 5:30-7 p.m., Fellowship Hall – Please join us Maundy Thursday for a churchwide family Seder meal. A Passover Seder is a special meal in which the components and structure recall the Exodus—when God freed His people from slavery in Egypt. As Christians, whether Jewish or Gentile (non-Jewish), we are invited to the Passover Seder table as a way of remembering God’s faithfulness throughout history and celebrating Jesus—the Lamb of God—whose death and resurrection make it possible for us to be part of God’s family now and forever. A nursery will be provided for ages 0-Kindergarten 5.
