by Sharon Cheverie

Lighting of three Lenten Candles and Christ Candle and also reading the Lenten Candle Liturgy were Rebecca, Josh, Isaac and Luke Young.
Gospel Lesson John 3: 14-21 was read by Wanda Theriault.
Reflections “The Way a Cross” - Told the story of a great rumbling and of the earth being broken causing a “chasm” with the leader and his son on one side and the people on the other side and the need to come together. Told of the leaders love and care for his people and the world and of his vision that all people would live knowing abundant life and all would have a common connection. That if we Cross the Bridge or Bridge the Cross there is no telling what might happen.
Ministry of Music “When You Prayed Beneath the Trees” was shared by the choir.
Recognition was given to those who have been elected to take on particular responsibilities within our church community as Elders and as officers within UCW.
