			Invites the public to join them in the observance of 
			Lent – the 40 days preceding Easter in observance of the 40 days 
			Jesus the Christ fasted in the wilderness. A centuries old tradition 
			in not only the Christian Church but also the Roman Catholic, 
			Anglican and Episcopal faith communities – will be celebrated at St. 
			John UCC in a more modern than traditional manner. Utilizing a motto 
			of the church “Our faith may be a thousand years old – our thinking 
			is not”, all services will be less formal but spiritual.  
			Lent will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 26th with several 
			Mini Services to facilitate various life and work schedules. Three 
			services will be offered: at 8:30-8:45 a.m., 12:30-12:45 p.m. and 
			final one at 6:15-6:30 p.m. all in the sanctuary of St. John UCC 204 
			7th Street, Lincoln. During each service the imposition of ashes 
			will be offered. The church and the sanctuary are handicapped 
			accessible. 
			Every Wednesday following will feature a message via a skit from a 
			series this one set in a bakery/ A ‘bring your own brown bag supper’ 
			will be from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall of the church. The 
			Lenten Series Skit “Half-Baked Lent”. will be held at 6:00 to 6:25 
			p.m. followed by a time of fellowship.  
			The themes are: 
			March 18 “The Case of the Missing Donut” 
			March 25 “Moldy Bread” 
			April 01 “Easter Breakfast” 
			 
			Palm Sunday will be observed on Sunday April 05 with 
			communion and the presentation of the Palms. 
			On Sunday, April 12 Easter will be observed, communion will 
			be served. The sermon theme is: “See what love can do and dare”. 
			St. John United Church of Christ practices Open Communion and is 
			open to all who attend. Pastor Laurie Hill and the St. John UCC 
			church family welcome all to experience this Lenten and Easter 
			season together.
