At the weekend it was our leaders weekend away. I'd been asked to take the Sunday morning communion service and decided to do a Christianized version of a passover seder.
To help create a visual focus I painted the picture to the right on a curtain. It's the lamb from the book of revelation. Note the red cross is not St George's cross, rather a red cross was a symbol for the resurrection. So the picture shows both the death and resurrection of the lamb.
Nice one Brodie. I did this last year with some close friends - we did the four glasses of wine and a proper lamb roast dinner in the middle - good for a dozen or so people. I had planned to do it again this year with the whole church family (a little harder to do the roast). There's a whole load of resources for this kind of thing. What liturgy did you use?

Jamie - the liturgy I used was based on several sources but I'd adapted it quite a bit. I can send you a copy if you wish.
I had asked the hotel to cook some legs of lamb for us but they forgot. This was however ok as it meant we kept within the alloted time for this session of 1 1/4 hours.
What's more is that it works well as a family service as as you know it's all about passing the story of God's redemption onto the children of the community.
