What is a Passover Seder? 


 

The scene for God's redemptive plan for our world is set when the Lord parts the Red Sea and Moses leads the Israelites into the Promised Land.

 

Passover is a celebrated memorial to the book of Exodus and God's faithfulness to the Jewish people.
 

For thousands of years, the Jewish people have come together each year around the seder table. Through taste, teaching, song and prayer, we remember and re-experience the Exodus - the history of our salvation.


"The Last Supper" 

 

It was during this time at a small Passover Seder in Jerusalem where Yeshua (Jesus) sat with His disciples for His last meal before His impending death. 


 

It was here that He took matzah, the bread of both our affliction and deliverance, broke it and passed it around to His disciples. "Tonight" he said, "this is my body, broken for you. Tonight I am your deliverance."  And it was here that He took the wine, symbolizing the redemption of the Jewish people, and infused it with new meaning; "This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you." (Luke 22:19-20) 


 

Just as the blood of the slain lamb smeared on the doorposts of the ancient Israelite homes covered them from the death of the firstborn, so too the blood of the slain lamb, Yeshua covers us all from death and brings us into His resurrection and life. 

 

The Passover Encounter 

 

The Passover Encounter is an opportunity for you to come alongside the Jewish people while entering deeply into the "Lord's Supper" and experience your own personal exodus.  


 

The Passover Encounter will connect the dots. The night will leave you with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Jewish people, renewed and encouraged faith as you see the powerful and historical background of our faith in Jesus, and a deeper appreciation for your own church's Easter and Communion celebrations. 

 

 

Q&A on the Passover Encounter: 


 

How long is the Seder and is it family friendly?

 

The joyful two-hour seder includes teaching, worship, music and a full meal. We will involve the children many times during the seder, making it a treat even for the kids.  

 

What does my church need to do? 

 

I will personally work with a point person or team to organize the preparations. I also provide detailed set-up instructions and menu options to make preparing easy. 

In addition, there are a number of different options to make the Passover Encounter fit your community, ranging from a more elaborate banquet to a simple presentation without a meal or much set up. 

 

How much do you charge? 


 

I do not charge a fee but many churches will give an honorarium or love offering as appropriate within the church. This offering goes toward our ministry support. 

 

When is the best time to do a Passover Encounter? 

 

I usually lead seders during the Passover/Easter season. This includes weeks leading up to Easter (up to three or four weeks prior) through the few weeks following. 

 

The most popular times are Sunday or Saturday for an evening banquet. A weekday can work as well, especially during Holy Week. 


 

Though less formal, some churches choose to do a Sunday morning Passover brunch. We would use the entire Sunday morning service for the Seder which includes worship with your worship team, communion, teaching and a meal!
