Passover Seder 2017 in Ashburn

This celebration is an opportunity to see how God has revealed Messiah in the Jewish Passover ceremony.

Greetings,

For the first 200 years of the early church, the churches of Asia celebrated the resurrection of Jesus and fulfillment of the prophetic promise of the Passover Lamb within the Passover Feast. Come learn about the origin of our modern day celebration of Communion and how Jesus (Yeshua, The Messiah) fulfilled this spring feast (one of the three pilgrimage feasts on the Jewish calendar).

Please join us at the Lighthouse Church, in Ashburn, Virginia, as we celebrate our 4th annual Passover Seder and learn together about the Hebraic root of our faith. This celebration is an opportunity to see how God has revealed Messiah in the Jewish Passover ceremony. This participatory celebration will help you remember how the blood of the Passover lamb redeemed us all from the death and slavery from sin!

The cost for this wonderfully catered dinner is $25 for adults and $5 for children. Bring your Spouse as child care is provided for the evening event.

Typically on a seder plate, you’ll find a roasted egg, shankbone, bitter herbs (usually horseradish), charoset (a mixture of apples, nuts, spices and wine), lettuce and parsley.

The roasted egg symbolizes spring. Lettuce is often included as a bitter herb. The shankbone is symbolic of the lamb offered as a sacrifice during biblical times, but a chicken neck or beets (for vegetarian households) can be substituted.

The mixture of apples and nuts symbolizes the mortar used by Hebrew slaves to build structures for the Egyptians. The parsley is dipped in saltwater to represent the tears shed during slavery. The bitter herbs, usually horseradish, represent the bitterness of slavery.
