2025 Family Seder Meal
Wednesday – April 16th | 6:00pm-8:00pm | $10 per person
The Seder meal was celebrated during Passover by Jews to remember the Exodus and how God led them into the Promised Land.
It was this meal that Jesus shared with His disciples on the night He was betrayed and handed over to be crucified. Christians have celebrated this meal to remember how Jesus served as our Paschal lamb, the perfect sacrifice, given to rescue us from captivity and deliver us into the freedom of life with God for eternity. Please join us to share in this rich and storied meal as we remember and once again tell the story of God’s faithfulness. The menu for the evening will include matzah ball soup, roasted chicken and vegetables and macaroons for dessert.
