Stan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Department of Public Affairs & Religious Liberty March 15, 2007 ANNOUNCEMENT: COME CELEBRATE A PASSOVER WEEKEND FROM A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PERSPECTIVE APRIL 6 & 7, IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Pastor Richard Elofer from Israel will be in Los Angeles to help us celebrate the Passover, a sacred memorial for Jews and Christians alike, a Festival of Freedom. He will be joined by Alan J. Reinach, Esq., Director of Public Affairs & Religious Liberty for the Pacific Union Conference. A special service will be conducted at the Burbank Seventh-day Adventist Church on Friday evening, April 6th at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. Come sing some traditional Jewish songs, and learn the spiritual significance of the Passover. The "Last Supper" that Jesus ate before his crucifixion was in celebration of the Passover, and was a traditional Seder meal. For Christians, an understanding of the Seder service gives depth and meaning to some of the final events in the life of Christ. Discover why Passover is the favorite Jewish holiday, beloved by children! On Saturday evening, April 7th, Pastor Elofer will conduct a Passover Seder at the New Otani Hotel, in Los Angeles, beginning at 6:00 p.m. A traditional Jewish meal [feast] will be served. This event is being sponsored by the Southern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in cooperation with the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. This is an occasion where Seventh-day Adventists and Jews can come together to celebrate some common elements of their religious faith, so please invite your Jewish friends. All should understand that this is not a "proselytizing" event, as is often conducted by Messianic Churches, but is one that respects both Jewish and Christian religious traditions. Registration Fee for Saturday evening dinner/Seder at the New Otani Hotel: $15 per person / $25 per couple; children under 14 free! This is a nominal charge, and does not begin to pay for the cost of the meal and program, which are being subsidized by the sponsors. Pre-registration is required, since we must give the hotel an accurate count of how many will attend. If any desire to stay overnight after the Seder, we have arranged a discounted room rate of $103 per night. Of course, this would also allow you to come earlier in the afternoon, and rest up before the evening. For hotel reservations: call 800-639-6826, and mention: Passover Seder.
