We have entered into the Season of Lent. The word “lent” simply means “springtime” – the time of year when we notice new birth and new growth. This metaphor is meant to encourage and lead us into a time of growth, renewal and transformation. Lent can help us to spiritually "rebalance our soul."
During this 40-day season, it is my hope is that each of us individually, and together as a congregation, will take an honest, in-depth look at our personal and congregational journey of faith.
This particular year, many of us are experiencing an extra level of anxiety, leading to a feeling of being drained and a bit “empty.” Therefore, the Worship & Music ministry team (P.J. Brobston, moderator) has chosen the following theme for this year’s season – LENT: A Time to Fill Your Cup.
In worship, primarily through inspiration found in stories from the Gospel of John, I will emphasize how we might experience the filling of our “cups,” hopefully to the point where we can declare with the psalmist, “My cup overflows” (Psalm 23:5).
As a visual incentive, you are invited to bring a cup to place on the Communion Table, symbolizing your journey through the season of Lent this year.
So let us focus on a healthy and meaningful spiritual life, a life that experiences a connection with the Sacred/Divine in our midst and within ourselves.

"Fill My Cup, Lord"
by Richard Blanchard
Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy;
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
"Draw from my well that never shall run dry".
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.
So, my neighbor, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won't pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

Saturday, April 1
9:00 am - noon
The Building & Grounds Ministry Team is seeking volunteers to help clean, polish, & shine our church home. This will be a “Spring Cleaning”, both inside and out. It is always a fun time with a fun group.
We have had fewer volunteers the last couple of workdays, so we really need your help this time to keep our church home in the kind of condition that demonstrates our love and pride.
There will be tasks for all skill levels, so don’t be hesitant to come. If you are going to do outside work, please bring work gloves and perhaps your favorite tools, otherwise supplies will be provided. A continental breakfast will be provided.
Put this on your calendar, join the fun and help us shine for Easter! If you have questions, please (click name to) contact David Zerger. For outside (gardening) questions, (click name to) contact Gini Fox.

A Man Called Ove
by Fredrick Backman
Described as "light-hearted", "charming", and "deeply moving", it may come as a surprise that the protagonist and title character of
A Man Called Ove is what most people would call a curmudgeon.
Fredrick Backman's debut novel, translated from the original Swedish to English, is indeed an easy, entertaining read, but also thoughtful and heartbreaking.
A Man Called Ove is the perfect book to read while curled up by the fire on a cold winter day, and then join us for lunch and discussion at Book Club... or you can cheat and watch the movie, now playing in Tulsa at The Circle Cinema.)
A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman is available at book stores, your local library, and other book sources. Book Club will meet for lunch and discussion at Panera Bread (1624 E. 15th St., just west of Utica on the south side of 15th St.) immediately following worship service (about 12:15pm).
Please (click name to) contact Fritha Ohlson if you are interested in more information about Book Club.
