During Holy Week we will be hosting a traditional Seder Dinner in our gym—the same Passover meal that Jesus hosted for His disciples before His arrest. The dinner’s roots go back 3400 years, and it is still practiced today.
You just couldn’t make this stuff up! The heritage of this important traditional dinner start at the end of the 10 plagues that get the Hebrew nation out of Egypt. (You know, the whole “Let my people go!” thing.) Within that traditional dinner Jesus unpacks for his disciples the hidden meaning and fore-telling of the coming resurrection that they had been observing for 1400 years.
Invite your friends and family to join us as we reveal the symbolism inherently built into this dinner. Oh, and it is a dinner as well – lamb and chicken and all the horse radish you can eat!
Hosting a Table
If you have volunteered to host a table, here is a list of things you will want to bring. The idea is that this meal is like a Family Thanksgiving dinner, so we attempt to bring real dinnerware, rather than our regular paper plates and plastic forks. Please set up your table by 6PM on Thursday. We will have a short host meeting at 6PM (tables will be set up by noon) and wait for our guests to arrive! We will work as the greeting crew. Fill the tables up front first and move back.
Please Bring:
- 8 plates
- 9 glasses
- 2 12 inch tapers in candle sticks
- 8 sets silverware/flatware
- 8 cloth napkins nice decent ones)
- A lighter or matches
- A pitcher
