The theme of the meeting was Lent and the worship centre followed the theme, with a wooden cross, lighted candles and a goblet of wine depicting sacrifice. The program was con- ducted by Mrs. Cy Marzec and Mrs. Wallace Bilton. Following the singing of a hymn, Mrs. Marzec led in prayer. She then explained the different seasons of the church year and colors of each season, adding that the color for Lent is purple. Following reading of scripture-by-M*s—Bilton, meditation on Lent was given by Mrs. Marzec who described Lent as a time for self-examination, fasting, prayer and confession.
