Peru Community Church’s Seder meal is open to all!
April 1st, 2010 5:30 pm Seder Meal Fellowship Center on Elm St.
The Seder meal is a Jewish tradition that is a historical, vivid, and beautiful expression of God’s action for his people. It is one part of the present-day Jewish seven-day Passover celebration.
To recall the great deliverance of Israel at the time of Moses, the elements of the traditional Seder meal symbolize historically significant features of the Israelite experience. Both the event of God’s deliverance and the directions God gave Moses for later commemoration of the Passover history are represented in the Seder ritual and meal.
Christians are particularly interested in this ritual meal because it was during a Passover celebration that Jesus instituted Holy Communion.
There will be a Maundy Thursday Service in the Chapel following the Seder meal, or come for the church service only, beginning at 7:00 pm.
(Please call 643-8641 to reserve seats for the Seder Meal)
