our Maundy Thursday worship
The Seder Meal is the exact meal that Jesus celebrated
with His disciples. Passover was observed in all Jewish homes.
There are lavish preparations to get ready for the Seder Meal.
Special foods are served and special rituals takes place during the meal.
It is truly inspirational . . . an experience you won’t forget.
We will observe the Seder as Jesus did.
It is for families as well as individuals.
Plan now to participate in the Seder dinner to be held
in place of a worship service on Maundy Thursday.
There will be a sign up sheet on the information table
or you may call the church office. (RSVP requested)
