Maundy Thursday Seder Meal
The Seder meal is the traditional Passover meal that Jesus celebrated with his disciples on the eve of his arrest. It is a traditional Jewish custom reminding of God’s saving the people from slavery in Egypt. This year we will celebrate a Seder meal under the guidance of Rabbi Barney Kasdan from the Messianic Jewish Synagogue Kehilat Ariel in San Diego. A full meal (chicken, rice, vegetables) will be served and Rabbi Kasdan will teach alongside the meal about the traditional elements of the Seder food, the order of the meal, and accompanying prayers. Consider joining us for this fun and moving Holy Week experience.
Space is limited, and the cost is $10 per person (payable at the door). To sign up, click the link below or call the church office at 619-656-2525.
