Passover

April 1, 2026 (Observed evening before)

"For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Keeping the Passover each year reminds us that God is the forgiver of sin who grants us eternal life in His Kingdom through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Passover. This observance is a memorial of our Creator's continuing role in humanity's salvation.
