I love this time of the year. First, I have the opportunity to wish my Jewish friends a happy Passover as they celebrate the ageless story of deliverance.

Then, there is Easter, is a time of renewal and forgiveness and sharing as Christians celebrate a risen Savior. Next week, whether Jew or Gentile, you will have the opportunity to celebrate your faith at services and seders throughout the county.

Here is a list of services at churches, and Passover and seders at temples throughout Miami-Dade County:

"Come join us in this prayerful experience of the Passion and death of Jesus, not only as it happened 2,000 years ago, but as it happens today in the poor, the homeless, victims of violence...," Cox said.
