Messianic Passover Celebration Dinner Saturday, March 27 at 5:00pm in the Gathering Place Cost: $14 per person
This Passover event, this celebration, this experience will as closely as possible mirror the Last Supper. The opening page of the Haggadah— which will be provided to each guest at the dinner—reads as follows:
This ancient Haggadah is the oldest manuscript discovered and was most assuredly the version used by Messiah. We have infused it with the discussions and events that took place on that historic night as recorded in the Gospels. [This will be] a deep spiritual experience that will both seat you at the table on that most holy night and usher you into a deeper love for “our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah, who gave Himself for us, that He might ransom us from all lawless deeds and might purify to Himself aspecialpeople, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:13-14)
Childcare is available during the dinner. Reservation are required 48 hrs in advance—call 853.0219. There is no cost involved however a donation of $5 per child donation is suggested.
