Seders

Passover is a sacred time for us to remember God’s deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, Jesus’ sacrifice for us, and how His salvation continues in our lives today. It is a special time for us at Cornerstone to celebrate how the Jewish story and the Christian story are equal parts of God’s bigger story.

The Passover Seder was celebrated by Jesus and His disciples on the night that He was betrayed and is commonly called the Last Supper in Christian traditions. This is a tradition that has always been done in homes with family and close friends.

We encourage you to prepare a passover seder to share with your family, friends or roommates anytime the week of Passover (April 22th-30th).

If you are not currently in a group and want to connect to one hosting a seder, please email NATALIE MCGUKIN

Here are some great resources to help you prep and host.

HAGGADAH – a step by step guide to a Passover Seder. Includes all the elements, scripture and instructions you will need to host a Seder. We have two versions to fit your needs – a FULL VERSION and a CONDENSED VERSION

FAMILY FRIENDLY SEDER – a guide to help make this special for even our youngest members

VIDEO SEDER – Gene and Andrea Binder filmed this during March 2020 so there are a few references to the beginning of COVID; however, the timelessness of the Seder shines through. No matter what is going on in our lives Passover is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and God invites us every year into this sacred time.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS – This optional. We suggest using these questions to guide your conversation after you complete the Seder.

SEDER PLATE CHEAT SHEET – There are certain elements needed for a Seder plate and this cheat sheet outlines all the elements you will need. It is typical at a Seder meal to have one Seder plate that everyone shares.

May we join together this year and celebrate God’s provision and salvation that is as powerful today as it was during the Israelite exodus from Egypt.
