PASSOVER SEDER
Sunday, April 14 | 4:00pm - 6:00pm
The Ark | Auditorium
Are you ready to experience the ultimate celebration of freedom, hope, and renewal? Passover is a beautiful tradition that takes us on a journey from slavery to liberation, reminding us of God's amazing grace and love for us.
The Seder includes the recitation of prayers, the drinking of four cups of wine (or juice), the eating of matzah (unleavened bread), and the telling of the Exodus story through a series of symbolic foods and rituals. The Passover Seder combines traditional elements with Messianic beliefs, making it a powerful celebration of redemption and salvation offered through Jesus as the ultimate Passover lamb.
It's an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired! So, join us on this journey of liberation and celebrate Jesus, the “Passover Lamb.”
SPACE IS LIMITED TO 60 PARTICIPANTS | THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER IS APRIL 11
