Holy Week - Thursday - Passover Meal

9/4/2020

On Thursday, we invite you to conduct your own Christian Passover meal at home. 
Passover has always been a family celebration at home.  It is about protection from a plague.  It is therefore particularly apt for us at a time when we are confined to our homes out of concern about an epidemic.

Read on for details and what you need to prepare and cook.

The Jewish Passover originated with the enslaved Hebrews in Egypt, who were instructed to sacrifice a lamb to protect them from the tenth plague of Egypt.  The Passover became a commemoration of that mighty act of God and of their freedom from slavery.

The Last Supper was when Jesus met with his disciples to eat the Passover and instituted Holy Communion that we would him and his salvation.  In that meal he announced that God had made a new Covenant in his blood.  The Apostles understood that Jesus was the true Passover Lamb who died to redeem mankind.
Download the document below for preparation instructions (food to have available and what to cook) and the actual form of the service.  There are two versions:  1. For a family with children;  2. For a household without children.
