April 2nd - Seder Meal

"Do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19, 1 Cor 11:24)

A Seder Meal is scheduled for Maudy Thursday at 6 pm. This service is called "The Seder" and means "order". The intent of the ceremony is, and always has been, to obey the precept "tell your sons and daughters."

This is the meal that Jesus ate with his disciples the night that he was betrayed. There were certain foods and herbs full of meaning. Through the Passover meal, Jesus passed on the importance of remembering the faithfulness of God through the generations. Grace Lutheran's Seder meal will follow the traditional service, ceremony, and traditions. Everyone who has been confirmed in the Church is invited to attend.
