Thursday, Mar. 24             MAUNDY  THURSDAY

                     7:00pm    A Seder and Holy Communion

                                    The Messianic Passover Haggadah

        Haggadah means "the telling". Passover, the story of the Hebrews

        flight from the bondage of Egypt has been retold for thousands

        of years. It is the story of miraculous transitions- from slavery

        to freedom, from despair to hope, from darkness to light.

        One of the last earthly acts of Jesus was the celebration of the

        Passover with his disciples.. At that Seder he spoke to them of  

        his death. We are happy that Ilene Gelfer will be with us to

        offer the Passover prayers in Hebrew,
