Passover Seder Dinner on Maundy Thursday
March 29 at 6:30 PM in Moore Hall
When Jesus and his disciples gathered for the Last Supper, they were also together for Passover, commemorating freedom from Egyptian slavery. Passover is one of the largest Jewish festivals throughout the year, celebrated through the Seder dinner, a symbolic meal reviewing the history, promises, and prayers surrounding the events of Exodus 12. Judaism and Christianity now overlap in this celebration as Jesus’ last Passover celebration became the birth of one of Christianity’s most holy sacraments, Holy Communion.
In the spirit of exploring the roots of our faith and celebrating with our Jewish brothers and sisters, come be a part of a ceremonial Seder dinner. Learn about the last meal that Jesus ate, why he and his disciples were celebrating and what that means for us as Christians today.
The meal includes Moroccan spiced chicken with figs and dates, sautéed spring vegetables, roasted new potatoes and dessert.
Price is $25 for adults and $10 for children under 13 years. Tickets will be on sale in the courtyard between services on Sundays March 4, 11 & 18. You can also stop by the church office Monday -Thursday 9-4 and purchase tickets.
Its Diorama Time
The Education Committee is again inviting you, your family, a group of friends, or your committee to join in the celebration of Easter by beginning to think about what Easter means to you. Put that thought into creating a diorama and sharing it with the congregation.
What is the big deal about Easter? You can be literal or abstract with your diorama. Or maybe you want to communicate an idea or a feeling. Remember this is about the process and a way to engage in your faith. There is no correct or wrong diorama. Be creative!
Bring your completed diorama to church beginning March 18. We will display them all on Sunday March 25 (Palm Sunday) and April 1 (Easter). Put your name on a 3×5 index card and, if you would like, a short explanation about your scene.
If you have any questions, please contact Marty at marty@cumchb.org or 714 842-4461.
