Christ in the Passover: A Presentation
Maundy Thursday Service TONIGHT at 6:30pm (Thursday, April 14th) for a powerful presentation from Jews for Jesus of the beautiful symbolism of the Jewish ceremony called a seder. We’ll weave the story of the exodus and freedom from slavery together with the messianic hope realized in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. The words “do this in remembrance of me” will take on an even deeper meaning to Christians as we learn the significance of the tradition Jesus observed the night before He died and give us a closer look at the very Jewish life He led.
Join us for Good Friday Service, April 15th at 6:30pm as we remember the love that compelled Jesus Christ to die on a cross for us. Child care will be available for children nursery - 3rd grade by CSM students.

More than $500,000 has been sent to the Converge World Relief Ukraine Fund! This task has dominated much of the past 7 weeks - even while traveling to the Middle East and Europe over the last two!
