A Seder is the traditional Passover meal that holds deep significance for Jewish people. We join together with Jews for Jesus to link the traditional Jewish traditions with our saviour Jesus Christ.
April 17th - MAUNDY THURSDAY
- 7pm Last Supper Communion Service
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, believed to be the day when Jesus celebrated his final Passover with His disciples.
Christ's "mandate" is commemorated on Maundy Thursday---"maundy" being a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means "command." It was on the Thursday of Christ's final week before being crucified and resurrected that He said this commandment to His disciples. Jesus and his disciples had just shared what was known as the Last Supper and he was washing their feet when he stated:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34).
This service will be a Communion service in respect of the Last Supper.
April 18th- GOOD FRIDAY
- 7pm Good Friday Tenebrae
Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world.
Paul considered it to be “of first importance” that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and was raised to life on the third day, all in accordance with what God had promised all along in the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3). On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10).
April 19th-20th - STATIONS OF THE CROSS
- 6pm till 6am. We will be presenting the Stations of the Cross story in the plot next to The Quad. Stand around the bonfire (burn ban permitting) and read the trials of Jesus's journey to the cross. This will be going throughout the night till sunrise on Easter Day. Feel free to come and experience the story at your own pace.
The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers.The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. A series of 14 images will be arranged in numbered order along a path and the faithful travel from image to image, in order, stopping at each station to say the selected prayers and reflections.
