Passover Seder
Living Word Ministries of Fort Walton Beach will host a Passover Seder Meal for Believers on April 18 at the Brooks–Beal Center, 100 Beale Parkway (across from Yacht Club Drive).
The Seder will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Seder meal is designed to show how each element of the traditional Passover Seder relates to the Messiah, Jesus, and was a picture and type of His atoning death, burial and resurrection. A specific menu and format for the Seder is used.
The mission of Living Word is “to teach and, therefore, remove the paganism and reconnect us to the biblical, Hebraic Roots of Christianity,” said Dr. Susan Werner, Bible teacher and ministry leader at Living Word.
The cost of the Seder meal is $15 per adult. Children under age 10 are free. Because space is limited, seating will be on a first-come, first-accepted basis.
For more details and to make reservations, call Living Word Ministries at 850-897-1726. ‘Come, Touch the Robe’
The Ecumenical Choir of Walton County will present “Come, Touch the Robe” at Christ the King Episcopal Church in Santa Rosa Beach on Palm Sunday, April 17, at 3 p.m. and Monday April 18, at 7 p.m.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “do celebrate, but it’s a minor celebration,” Wilson said. He surveyed approximately 500 people in six different LDS wards as well as scores of BYU students to determine the importance of the holiday to active church members.
“It’s almost completely usurped by general conference,” the annual gathering of top LDS leaders and members on the first weekend in April, he said. The two-day event includes sermons and music broadcast to millions of members worldwide, and it happens to fall on Easter weekend this year, as it does about 23 percent of the time.
“I tell my students not to take that as a slam,” Wilson said. “That’s what the restoration (of Christ’s gospel) is, with living prophets speaking to us. But in LDS remembrance, (the conference) totally overshadows Easter.”

What Holy Week plans are ahead for your ward and stake? For Ash Wednesday? For Maundy Thursday? For Good Friday?
What kind of beautiful and special program will you have on Easter Sunday? Anything different? Will the name of Jesus Christ replace the name of Joseph Smith as the center of attention?
It sure is odd to see all the outreach by the mormons in the past few years...the Jews and the Muslims get a lot of attention, but I haven't see any "reaching out" to Evangelical Christians...I bet you can furnish lots of links and pix for that, right?
