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,
