“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us…”

4/19/11 SINGING "POWER IN THE BLOOD @ A CHRISTIAN SEDER PASSOVER MEAL


..went to a Christian seder passover meal..good experience ...the leader conducted it just like all jews experience it...with all the same dishes and with hebrew words and explanations for their symbolic significance...I found it online..the pastor does it annually and adds Christian elements saying this is exactly how Jesus celebrated the last supper (with a few modifications ; I.e. no wine, only grape juice; we were not reclining on pillows, etc) ...what really surprised me was that the event was held at a presbyterian church but when I arrived it was ALL African-Americans... I had never been to a presbyterian church with all or even many, or sometimes any, black members ..near the end of the meal I figured out that this was a baptist congregation using the presbyterian church fellowship hall... it was good..at first I felt a little uncomfortable being the only white amongst all blacks (altho a white gal came in later) ..but they showed a lot of hospitality and Christian love...God bless them..
