Rosen to speak at Good Friday worship celebration

RED BLUFF - Dr. Moishe Rosen, founder and first executive director of the Jews for Jesus evangelistic agency, will be the speaker at Community Baptist Church, 598 Round-Up Ave., at the Good Friday worship celebration at 7 p.m., Friday.
The organization has permanent branches in eight major north American cities, as well as more than 127 volunteer chapters in 41 states and five countries. The groups international branches are headquartered in Johannesburg, London, Paris, Odessa, Moscow, Essen, Rio de Janeiro, Kharkov, Dnepopretrovsk, and Tel Aviv.
Rosen will speak on "Christ in the Passover," a presentation he wrote to enhance the Christians' understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion. Ancient and modern Jewish customs will be discussed and described with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption which Christ accomplished at Calvary.
During the presentation a table is set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods which will be explained, but not eaten. The ceremonial Seder plate, the three-compartment pouch in which the unleavened bread is kept, and the traditional cup of Elijah are presented, and new insights to their christological significance are provided.
The community is invited to share in this special service. Childcare for the young will be provided.
