MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER, a vivid and exciting demonstration showing how Jesus fulfilled the ancient feast of Passover, will be held on Monday, April 11 at 6:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church of Floydada. This visual presentation will be conducted by Tony and Joan Savarese of Chosen People Ministries.
MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER begins with the traditional Passover Seder table – complete with all the articles of this important Jewish celebration. The speaker will explain the symbolic meanings of the various items of the Passover feast and highlight their relationship to the Last Supper that Messiah celebrated with the disciples, giving special emphasis on the redemptive significance of the crucifixion.
MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER gives the Christian community insight into Jewish traditions so that the Jewish roots of Christianity can be better understood. This program also helps the Jewish and Christian communities understand their common heritage.
This meeting is open to the public. Both the Christian as well as the Jewish community are invited to attend. A love offering for the Savareses will be received and a lite meal will be served at 5:00 p.m. For more information, please call Gary Boles at First United Methodist Church at (806) 983-3706 or email Gary at gdboles@gmail.com.
