Passover Presentation

 

Monday March 27, 6 pm

 

Chosen People Ministries is an over one hundred-year-old mission that was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus is the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Chosen People Ministries has grown into a worldwide ministry to “the Jew first and to the Gentile.”

MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER begins with the traditional Passover Seder table –

complete with all the articles of this important Jewish celebration. The speaker will explain the symbolic meanings of the various items of the Passover feast and highlight their relationship to the Last Supper that Messiah celebrated with the disciples, giving special emphasis on the redemptive significance of the crucifixion.

 

MESSIAH IN THE PASSOVER gives the Christian community insight into Jewish traditions so that the Jewish roots of Christianity can be better understood.  This program also helps the Jewish and Christian communities understand their common heritage.

Small Group Opportunity

 

During the Spring & Summer of 2019, GRCC members & visitors were invited to join one of our small groups as a new ministry opportunity. We have established three fellowship groups which generally met twice each month in homes in the North Dallas, Garland and Richardson areas. We enjoyed fellowship that promoted sharing of our needs, experiences, praying for one another and often the discussion of God’s Word together. Our meetings are in an informal setting that sometimes include a meal or light snack.

 

If you want to find out more information or are interested in participating, please contact:

From the Elders

 

Membership

Want to know more about membership?

 

"Why should I bother with church membership? The phrase 'church membership' isn't found in the Bible."

 

The response to this question can be found in the Path to Membership Packet found on our website.  Check it out and visit with an Elder. We'd love to discuss this further.
