Greetings!
Once again we have started a new year, 2010, which means that it is time to start thinking about LENT! Once again, the Tri-Penn Charge will be having Wednesday evening Lent services starting at 7:30 PM on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17th, at St. John’s Union Church in Farmers Mills.
This year, we will be doing a study titled Words of Life from the Cross. According to the publisher,
“Christ offered up His life for the life of the world, and His final words form the theme of this Lent-Easter resource. Each word Jesus spoke imparts a blessing and is a word of Gospel. Sermons and devotions expound on Christ’s final words as they interpret His words and work recorded in the Gospels as well as the Old Testament prophecies. Each Word of Christ proclaims His glory as we trust Him for forgiveness, life, and salvation."1
As in the past, we will be having the Lent services at a different church each week. When the services are at St. John’s, they will be combined UCC/ELCA services led by both Pastor Nathan and myself.
The schedule is:
Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17th 7:30 PM at St. John’s, Farmers Mills.
Wednesday, Feb. 24th 7:30 PM at Grace, Spring Mills.
Wednesday, March 3rd 7:30 PM at St. John’s, Farmers Mills.

Wednesday, March 24th 7:30 PM at St. John, Farmers Mills.
Wednesday, March 31st 7:30 PM at St. John, Farmers Mills (a special UCC/ELCA

Good Friday, April 2nd, 7:30 PM at Grace, Spring Mills (Tenebrae Service).

May God continue to bless and strengthen you for the ministry he has called you to.
Pastor Mike
