Easter events

Sharon Freeman of Jews for Jesus will discuss ancient and modern Jewish customs with her presentation of “Christ in the Passover” at 7 tonight at Plymouth Congregational Church, 1502 W. Eighth.

Members of Jews for Jesus, founded in 1973 by Moishe Rosen, travel the world using poetry, drama and music to deliver their message that Jews can believe in Jesus.

A dinner at 6 p.m. is also planned.

Cost for the talk and dinner: $3. Child care will be provided.

Living Faith Fellowship in Pullman will present an Easter drama, “The Substitution - His Life for Mine.” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the church, 1035 S. Grand in Pullman.

The final performance will be at 10:30 a.m. Easter Sunday. The original drama parallels the life of Jesus with that of Barabbas.

Child care will be available for children up to 2 years old. To reserve a required free ticket, call the church at (509) 334-1035.

`Y2K - The Play’ continues The first and second runs of “Y2K - The Play” at First Assembly of God Church, 828 W. Indiana, were so successful that organizers have scheduled four more performances.

Grants for the poor available

April 16 is the deadline for Eastern Washington organizations to submit grant applications for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The program, created in 1970, was formed by Catholic bishops to address the root causes of poverty in the United States.

The grants are available to nonprofit, community-based organizations working for change in their local communities. Grant criteria include an emphasis on the involvement of poor and low-income people in the planning and implementation of a project. Grants are awarded on the basis of need, not religious affiliation. Local grants usually range from $1,000 to $2,000.

To receive a grant application, call Sister Mary Medved at the Catholic Charities Parish Social Ministry Office at 358-4273 or (800) 831-1209.
