This will be the third year of not going
Ditto, Blondie. I had a quick look through the Bible as to how to ''celebrate'' and I think I know what I will be doing (a few tips would be MORE than welcome though).HOWEVER, I am unsure as to whether to go for 23rd/24th March, or more likely the 23rd April (I googled Nisan 14, and I got an April date) - I'd be grateful for any pointers as this will be my first in my own home.

Well, I borrow from here and there.
The Jews have the Seder meal for passover. It makes sense that Jesus and the apostles would have just had a meal before he prayed and passed the bread and the wine. So some have a nice meal together just before the passing of the bread and the wine. It was a gathering of close friends and family; why not include these in the celebration.
A reading of the scriptures recounting the first Lord's supper might be in order perhaps each person taking part in the reading and thanksgiving prayers.
Why not a discussion amongst the group as to what this means to them (without a "conductor")?
The proper wine and bread would be good; I consult the local synagogue for the best place to purchase.
As to day, it's up to you. I noticed on a Bible Student forum that one group was doing it on March 23 and another on April 23.
Love, Blondie

Hi JohnnyMarr!
Welcome to the board
I think to brighten up the memorial they should do it like pass the parcel. They play music and you pass the bread and wine around and then if the music stops when you have hold of it you can partake and be annointed. Of course this would mean the annointed would change every year but hey it's all based on a pagan ritual anyway so it's all a bit of a game anyhoo.
