Next week we do NOT have Vertical Challenge. But I challenge you to come to our Christian Passover Seder next Thursday, 7:00pm. The night that Jesus was betrayed and arrested, he celebrated Passover with his disciples. We know this as the time when Jesus introduced the Lord’s Supper. But what was (is) the importance of this Passover meal? Why did they celebrate Passover? How can celebrating it help us to understand Jesus better? Join us to discover!
