Passover Sunday - A very Special Sunday Morning at Church!

It was decided that we were going to have a Seder meal - a Passover Supper.  Nick & I have attended one together back home (Toni!!!!!)  and it is a very special meal indeed!  It has a lot of meaning - every part in this meal has significance! 

The preparation was wonderfully organized by Linda & Amanda and everyone brought something & participated as well...to make this a wonderful morning and preparing our hearts for this week as Easter approaches.  

I had committed to bringing e charoset - a apple dish - 

There it is...Apples, Raisins, cinnamon, walnuts and grape juice.

We were all to bring our own plates and cutlery, and there would be provided a catered lunch afterwards offered Biztro!  Wow...how nice!

Parsley for bitter herbs, and matzah was baked by the ladies, Shelly made beautiful bouquets of flowers for the tables"Thank you Shelly - you did a beautiful job...so colorful!"...most everyone chipped in and it made it a very special morning!  Linda had just returned from the island of Nias...spending a very special time with good friends there!  Linda has been in Indonesia 40 yrs this month!  WOW! Linda! ( I still want to see that picture of you when you first arrived!!!)

Thank you for providing the lunch for us!  Linda - had the "birthing" thought of doing a Passover meal for this Sunday morning!  Thank you Linda - for listening to the Lord and following through with it...so many had not yet participated in a Passover meal before! 

 Amanda was the girl..yes organized it, got us all doing this and that...and did a wonderful job this morning getting everything ready!  Oh Amanda...Thank you so' very much Amanda!  You are a blessing to us all!  And prepared out hearts for this very special week!

 The Passover begins...we said a prayer and sang a few songs...and then we read the steps...everyone read along.  

 It sure was a great turn-out....so many had come!
