Celebrated by Jewish people for over 3000 years, the sederprovides an opportunity for Christians to share in a meal similar to the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples. The word “seder” means order; foods are eaten in an orderly manor as participants hear a re-telling of the story of the Israelites redemption from bondage. It recalls the dramatic and miraculous events that led to their exodus from Egypt. The evening concludes with a celebration of the Lord’s Supper to remember the price Jesus paid for our freedom from the bondage of sin and death.

The Wednesday Evening Bible Study will begin a seven week Lenten Study on Ash Wednesday, March 9th and conclude the study on the Wednesday of Holy Week, April 20th. We have chosen a study entitled “Hard to Dance with the Devil on Your Back” that looks at the struggle in the lives of believers while helping us enter the continually crumbling world surrounding Jesus and the disciples in the days preceding Easter. Each lesson includes a Scripture reference, a reflection, questions for reflection or discussion and a brief prayer. If you are interested in participating in this study please sign the sheet on the Narthex table so that a book may be ordered for you. Please email Jan for more information at biblestudy@sjruc.ca
Join us Saturday mornings, March 12 to April 16, from 9 a.m. ~ 11 a.m.
Potluck Breakfast and Bible Study based on Amy Jill Levine’s DVD series “What’s God Up To?”
