Do you want to know what a Christian does with a small bowl of salt water, Matzah crackers, a scoop of horseradish, a bowl of Kharoset, parsley sprigs and a lamb shank bone… Do you want to understand why they light a candle, pound on the tables and read/sing from a haggadah…
Seder is the traditional Passover Week Dinner celebrated by the Hebrews since the Exodus. It is the Hebrew Thanksgiving, giving thanks to God for deliverance and redemption. It also commemorated the protection of God as the Angel of Death passed over every family protected by the Blood of the Paschal Lamb. But what about the Christian Seder? Seder is that famous dinner called The Last Supper, hosted by Jesus for His disciples. It was at this Seder that Jesus asked all of us to do this in remembrance of Him. Many of us have done part of the Seder at our various Communion services, but the entire ceremony brings us a profound sense of meaning.
Plan to attend the Evergreen Seder on Saturday April 10th beginning at 5:00 pm. Due to the popularity of this event and the limited space, reservations are absolutely necessary (space limited to 120). Contact the church office for information on how to reserve a table for your family.
