During this Lenten season Sarah and I decided to host a 6-part Seder at our house. For the past 6 Friday nights we have had a house full of ex-pats sharing in a half-hour portion of a Messianic Seder followed by soup, bread, and fellowship.
After that, every week we had different families bringing bread and soup. It was a delightful range of flavors.
We had a chart on the wall with most of the parts of the Seder written out in Hebrew. Each week we would review what we had done the previous week and the kids would suggest pictures that represented what we had talked about.
At the end of the 6 weeks our chart looked like this:
We used the same candles every week and on the final night, in almost perfect unison, we reached the end of our Seder and the candles reached the end of their wicks and went out.
It was such a blessing getting to share the Lenten season and 6 Seder meals with others as we prepared ourselves for Easter.
Sounds so very awesome! I wish I could have experienced that with you!
