Passover Anyone?

[Sept5SavedTeen]

Anyone doing anything for Passover this year?

I am not able to do much myself, I've had my jaw bound shut for the last three and a half weeks because of a surgery I had (just 11 more days to go!)... so I can't really take part in the eating, or much of the saying of the blessings for Passover this year, and if I don't get the ball rolling on the "Jewish" holidays in my house, then they don't get done... I might make some matzo ball soup and puree it real thin, and then eat it through my tube.

Anyways, anyone having a Passover Seder at their assembly? Anyone leading a Passover Seder in their house? What are you all eating? Lamb? Matzo ball soup? Gefilte fish? Any other good foods? Details, details...

Hope my brethren celebrating Pesach have a blessed holiday!

Churches should drop the whole easter thing and latch onto passover.

We are taking up a Passover Offering tonight at our Good Friday Service. We do this every year, and it totally goes to missions. We usually take in anywhere between $20-$30K, so it helps to fund our overseas conventions, building projects, etc.

We have a great service planned tonight, with drama, praise & worship, and lots of prayer. Can't wait!!

I'm conducting a Passover service at my church tomorrow. The Pastor and several members of leadership are attending and we'll have a holy convocation and solemn assembly.

No smiley in your post, so I have to assume you're serious,...

It is the yearly observance of two things:
1) Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
2) Our personal deliverance from spiritual bondage by Yeshua (Jesus), our Passover Lamb.

Fewer things in life are as Apostolic as celebrating Passover the way the Apostles did (in spirit and in truth) at the Last Supper. We do it in remembrance of Him.

Although the actual DAY of Passover was on Wed. Apr. 8th, the absence of the Holy Temple allows it to be extended somewhat into the 7-day Festival of Unleavened Bread. A seder (Passover service) is still appropriate throughout the week until the end (Wed. night Apr. 15th) of the festival. It teaches us beautiful lessons about Jesus, especially His identity as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53.

Hope this helps.

Chag s'meach Pesach!
Happy Passover, everyone!
