Seder Meal


At the end of March, we had the privilege of participating in a Seder meal at our church.  It was such an awesome experience for all of us.  Our church was hosting visitors from Israel: a Messianic Rabbi (who led the Seder meal), a German missionary and an Arab Palestinian Christian couple.  They shared their hearts with us throughout the week and then about 900 of our church members participated with them in the Seder meal.  It was amazing to see the Messiah Jesus intertwined with the traditional Jewish meal. 



Caleb is studying the book as we followed along during the almost 4 hour meal.  We had the Seder first, then we shared a meal together followed by communion. 


We drank lots of grape juice!  One of Samuel's favorite parts!


First course of the meal was Matzo Ball Soup.  It was really good but we were so hungry, we would have eaten anything that they put in front of us!!

Hearing familiar scripture passages from the perspective of a Messianic Rabbi gave new meaning and insight into God's word.  We are so grateful to be "grafted" in as children of the Lord!
