Local church celebrates Mardi Gras and Lent [MARCH 4, 2003] Troy Meinershagen and Suzanne Tockey, both of Lincoln, reigned as king and queen of the St. John United Church of Christ Mardi Gras celebration on Sunday, March 2. Ash Wednesday services in the sanctuary at 7:30 p.m. March 5 will begin the church's observation of Lent. Mardi Gras festivities included a shoe box float contest won by the David Schneider family of rural Hartsburg. Six-year-old Alison Pagel of Lincoln came in second. Members of the queen's court were Barb Reinwald of Lincoln and Rhonda Kincheloe and Marita Schneider, both of rural Lincoln. Donald Begolka, Bill Gosda Jr. and Roger Michalsen, all of Lincoln, served on the king's court. A jester pinata, bingo and card games plus a potluck dinner completed the celebration, which has become a tradition at the church. Lenten services at St. John Church, located at Seventh and Maple streets in Lincoln, will be at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday from March 5 through April 9. The Rev. Rich Reinwald, pastor of the church, will lead worship, which will include a video series, "Jesus, The New Way." After the Ash Wednesday observance in the sanctuary, the remaining services will take place in the Fellowship Hall of the church.
