This year the theme is “Life’s Transforma- tion” Each service begins at 7:00 p.m. and is followed by a time of fellowship. The schedule is as follows: March 16 - Host: Redeemer Lutheran Church / Preacher: Jim Eaton March 23 - Host: First Congregational Church / Preacher: Zachary Woodby March 30 - Host: First Baptist Church / Preacher: Cal Leong April 6 - Host: Trinity Methodist Church / Preacher: Ray Straw- ser April 13 - Host: Christ Episcopal Church / Preacher: Dave Woodby Lent begin on March 9th with Ash Wednesday . A special service is planned for 7:00 p.m. God has called us to a sol- emn assembly of confession and repen- tance. God says a dimly burning wick he will not quench. This means that an oil lamp that is running low on oil needs to be refilled and the wick trimmed so the flame will burn brighter . In the Bible, oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. There are times when we need refreshing from the Holy Spirit so that our lights will shine brighter . So join us on Ash Wednesday as we ask the Lord to trim our wicks and fill us afresh with the Holy Spirit.
