Passover

Fellowship of the Word holds two special services during our Lord's Biblically appointed time for the Passover (see our Schedule page for times).

The first is the New Covenant Passover, which is a memorial of Jesus Christ's sacrifice as our Messiah and Passover Lamb, including partaking unleavened bread & wine.  We also observe foot washing during this service as well (bring a basin and towel).  We ask that everyone arrive ~30 minutes prior to service start time for personal meditation.

The second is the Old Covenant Passover, which is a memorial celebration of ancient Israel's Exodus from their lengthy Egyptian slavery, which includes a short message, fellowship, and potluck (rather than seder).

Being children of God in His New Covenant, we understand that the new symbols of our Messiah’s body & blood (unleavened bread & wine) were given as an update to the Old Covenant symbols for His body & blood (the yearly metaphorically sacrificed Passover lambs).  Our understanding is that Jesus Christ, Yahshua Messiah, is our Passover Lamb whose shed blood and slain body washes away the sin of the world, which all prior Passover lamb sacrifices symbolically and prophetically foreshadowed.
