Tickets are selling fast for Celebrate Messiah’s 30th Anniversary event which is here on Saturday night 22nd March, from 7pm to 9pm.  It will be a celebration of God’s faithfulness, will feature a worship concert by the Sons of Korah, and will end with fellowship over supper. Please go to the link on the screen for more details and to register for $30 per person by 30th March. The event is not advisable for young children.

Tickets are also selling fast for Celebrate Messiah’s Melbourne Passover Seder, from 6pm Sunday night 13th April at St Kilda Town Hall. Please register at the same link.

We will need many volunteers for various aspects of the night, so please see May-Lee Wee or Claire Carvosso if you would like to volunteer. Volunteers will not need to register as you will be serving instead of sitting at tables.

Celebrate Messiah is also running Passover Seders in Canberra and Sydney, and details of those are also available at the same link.
