Worship Spotlight: Christian Seder Meal by Theresa Zuber

The Scott Avenue Worship Ministry is preparing a Seder service for Thursday evening, April 1st at 6:30pm. The Seder meal is a Jewish tradition that not only ties in the Passover Feast from the Old Testament that celebrates and remembers God’s liberation of Israel from Egypt but it also foreshadow’s Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. This service will show the parallels between the Passover in the Old Testament and the work of Jesus Christ as the perfect Passover lamb in the New Testament. We often forget that our Christian faith has Jewish roots. This gives insights into the symbolism in the Lord's Supper and the Last Supper Jesus shared with his disciples. Our hope is that this will make communion even more meaningful to each person that participates.

The Seder service is "family friendly" as Jewish traditional Passover Feasts are celebrated as a family. Ex. 12:26And when your children ask you, 'What does this ceremony mean to you?' 27 then tell them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.' " We hope you will join us as we experience this evening together.
