The Ark | Passover Seder

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

2023 CHRISTMAS OFFERING

November 5, 2023 - January 7, 2024

Every year, FC offers a special giving opportunity during the holidays to encourage generosity through our community and God's kingdom. The Christmas offering is a one-time gift that will help sustain the long-term health of Family Church. It will focus on funding organizational and operational needs (facility repair, new van, other costs), spiritual development tools (Ramsey+ and RightNow Media), and benevolence funding (helping fund and care for our missionaries). This year, we are also providing a resource to help you as you pray over how God is leading you to invest financially in His church and work. This commitment card can be found at each campus and used as a personal tool or a returnable generosity pledge to help us gauge 2024 finances.

GIVE ONLINE: https://pushpay.com/g/familychurchweb (On the FUND pulldown menu, select ‘Christmas Offering’)
