Purim Party

Fun ways to remember

Purim parties are a fun way to learn, teach and remember God's faithfulness to his covenant people.

A good Purim party will have good food, games, and a Purim spiel (play).

To encourage you to put on your own play, we have a starter script available written by Curtis and Carolyn Loftin.
