On Tuesday, April 19th, the UM College and Young Adult Ministries will share in a traditional Seder Meal.  This will be a special and meaningful time of fellowship to which all college students (and college-age adults) are welcome.  Charlie Hash -  one of the best cooks we know! – will prepare a traditional lamb roast, accompanied by other dishes  reminiscent of the early Jewish Seder meals.

Why We Celebrate the Seder – a Jewish Dinner – in our Christian Church:

Jesus, as a Jew, was raised with all the appropriate Jewish traditions.  This includes the very important observance of Passover, the holiday remembering the protection God gave the Israelites during the final plague brought upon Egypt.  The Seder Meal is the most important event during the Passover season.  The Last Supper was, in fact, a Seder and so celebrating with this meal simply continues the practice that Jesus and his disciples observed.
