EAST celebrated Seder or Passover on Wednesday, 23 March 2016, as part of Chapel prior to Good Friday. Led by Dr. Keith Shubert, EAST’s Principal, the celebration includes the lighting of candles, hand washing, songs of worship and praise, followed by a meal. Keith recounted for us how a Jewish family would traditionally observed the Passover. It was indeed a meaningful time of reflection and reminder for us of the Person and work of Christ on the Cross, and that Christ being our Passover Lamb who was slained to redeem us from sin.
