***VERY IMPORTANT!!***

The Jesus in the Passover Full Seder presentation will need some preparation on the part of your church. We will need a presentation table and tables for your congregants. The following is a list of what is needed for each table. If you have any questions call us at 678-482-4505.

Instructions for Setting up the Presentation Table:

A six or preferably eight-foot table set up in the front of the sanctuary or room in which the presentation will take place. The table should be covered with a white tablecloth and have the same elements as the congregants' tables. We need another eight-foot table in the foyer for books and materials.
Please provide a lapel microphone if available.

Instructions for Setting up the Congregants' Tables
(assuming 10 people per table):

Two candle holders (any kind) with two 10 to 12" white taper candles to fit.
One book of matches.
Two small containers (1/8 cup each) of salt water (One cup water-one tablespoon salt).
A large onion or horseradish root (**do not chop or peel--whole large onion or root).
One small sprig of parsley per person (10 sprigs per table)
Two eggs hard-boiled and not peeled. Brown eggs are preferable.
Two cups of Charoset (apple/honey mixture, recipe below). About 1/4 apple per person.
One-third jar of prepared horseradish.
(**Found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store--where the sour cream and cream cheese is kept**)
No horseradish/mayonnaise sauce or powder please! Please do not open the jar until the minister has arrived.
Five pieces of Matzoh (unleavened bread) - large squares and not tam-tams.
Two large white dinner napkins for the matzoh cover (I will explain how to fold it when I come).
One-half gallon of grape juice.
Ten spoons and/or forks.
Ten drinking cups or glasses for the grape juice.
Ten dessert-sized plates.
One large dinner sized plate for the center of the table.

The table may be set as simply or elaborately as you wish. We have had groups use anything from paper plates to fine china. Most groups use very nice paper products and plastic cups or goblets.

Charoset Recipe
2 sweet (Gala or Fuji) apples
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. honey
1 tbs. sweet Passover wine or grape juice

Core and peel apples. Chop walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped (about the size of grape nuts) and set aside. Chop apples in food processor until finely chopped - but not as fine as the walnuts. Combine the apples and walnuts in a bowl and stir in the cinnamon, honey and wine/grape juice until well blended. Will serve 10 people.
