Ushering were Brenda Brooks,
Joann MacDonald, Lois van Vliet
and Elaine Brown. Guest organist
was Margaret Kai.
Cheryl Cronin led a hymn-sing
before church of everyone's favourite
hymns.
The choir anthem was Hallelujah.
Rev. Robin McGauley asked the
children to come to the front for their
storytime and to bring the food for
the Food Bank while the
congregation sang Tree of Life.
During this the a symbols of Lent, (a
loaf of bread, a bottle of oil, a bowl of
water, a candle and a cross) were
brought to the front by Kelsey Kerr,
Colton Kerr, Wyatt Bearss,
MacKenzie McNichol and -Quinton
Hakkers.
Rev. McGauley reviewed the
meaning of the symbols of Lent and
said that the cross was the last
symbol because next Sunday would
be Palm Sunday.
The cross was different than the
one at the front of the church. It had
a circle around it representing the
resurrection.
Rev. McGauley placed a purple
sash beside the red, orange, yellow
and green ones to extend the rainbow.

Jon Hakkers held the candles to be
lit and taken down to Sunday school.
The readings were from Jeremiah 31:
31-34, Psalm 51 and John 12: 20-36
led by 011ie Craig.
Rev. McGauley's message to the
adults was The Hour has Come. The
most asked question by children is
"Why did Jesus have to die?" Some
answers are he died to save us from
our sins. Jesus died to create new life,
like a grain of wheat dies to create
new growth when it is planted in the
soil.
The results of Jesus dying on the
cross created a new community of
faith. His death made changes in our
lives.
We welcomed two new members,
Nan Gore and Mark Nonkes who
joined the congregation by transfer of
membership.
