By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ... ~1 Peter 1:3
2 Pastor s Corner It s Holy Week; I dare say the very holiest seven days of every year for us, as Christians, as people of faith who maintain the belief in a crucified and Risen Savior known to us and loved by us as Jesus Christ. This year, as perhaps you ve noticed, Easter arrives on April 1st, known and treated by many as April Fool s Day. The pranks of the day will begin with us hosting the Easter Sunrise Service at 6:30 on a frozen, snow-laden earth, on the Green with no green visible. Our only hope is in a glorious sunrise to make this Fool s Day observance worth our foolish efforts to be here, probably more bundled up as though for Christmas rather than spring s Easter. I ve joked that perhaps we ll have yet one more nor easter as nature s prank on all of us. But in the days leading up to Easter Sunday, the holiness of reliving the passion story begins on Thursday s dusk with the Service of Tenebrae and a reenactment of the Last Supper. There s no sermon, only the sacrament. Yet everyone who makes the effort to attend is moved, often to tears, as the gospel of Mark s accounts of Jesus journey to the cross are read by some of our deacons. One by one, the candles on the communion table are snuffed out to symbolize the darkening of the world as Jesus is betrayed, taken prisoner, mocked and beaten, denied by his closest, deserted by his followers, and handed over to be crucified. Then, on the following day, known as Good Friday, we will gather again to focus on his final life s journey, his trek through the holy city s streets to the hill called Golgotha, there to be crucified, humiliated, and mocked still more. All of these horrid happenings have become holy; and that s no April 1st humor. No, all of this inspires our holiness as we recognize in the Lord the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Please come; the honor of your presence is requested. The time of our Holy Week Services are listed below. With God s blessings, Bob Lenten Schedule (All services at our church unless otherwise noted.) March 29th March 30th April 1st Maundy Thursday Service ~ 7:00 p.m. Good Friday Service ~ 2:30 p.m. Easter Sunrise Service and Breakfast ~ 6:30 a.m. Easter Service ~ 10:00 a.m.
3 Loft-y Thoughts ~ April 2018 It is April the month of showers. Somewhere in my still unpacked boxes of memories, there is a suncatcher (window ornament) of a little girl with an umbrella. The story, as told by my mom, is that way out west in the beautiful farmlands of America there were long periods of drought and endurance. The farmers and their families would go to church to pray for rain. The young girl in the suncatcher is the only one to bring an umbrella. The story ends here and I guess we can imagine the ending for ourselves. Over the years, many hours of mine have been spent in prayer, not always in the formal setting of a church, more likely when behind the wheel of my car. It seemed at those times to be similar to a confessional, where we can talk one-on-one with the One we have been taught to listen to. Much of that time, a thought might enter my mind, as the sun rises or sets, or when twilight comes to draw us into sleep. Sometimes a word spoken by a friend or a shared private moment when one discloses a physical or emotional problem, needs to be taken care of when prayer begins and we ask for the patience of an answer. The sun shines, warmth envelops us, and we breathe in and out slowly ready to move ahead. You know that I am not in Kansas anymore, Toto. My view of church is from a distance, but I can picture Sunday morning worship service actually where everyone sits in the pews, the choir, the usher, the participants for that morning. It comforts me to know it is still a vital, worshipping community of caring people. I like to believe in that and them, and the little girls who pray for rain and carry umbrellas. I love the faith they exhibit. And I thank God. I have so much to say thank you for. Weather brings change, and change can be good. But don t forget to carry an umbrella! Happy Easter.

6 Pastoral Search Committee Update The Pastoral Search Committee would like to announce the unanimous election of Reverend Doctor Stanley William Sencabaugh as the new settled pastor of the First Congregational Church of Lebanon. Following the worship service on March 18, 2018, at which he preached, Reverend Will (as he likes to be called) was voted in at an all church meeting. He and his wife, Julie, are looking for a house in Lebanon and will be moving from their current home in Deerfield, MA, to Lebanon in time to begin preaching here on June 3, Both Will and Julie are excited about this new chapter of their lives and the PSC committee is equally excited about this new chapter for our church. We would like to thank all who were able to attend the tea, luncheon, and/or breakfast prior to the service on the 18th. We hope that you found that time valuable and were able to chat with Reverend Will. We would also like to thank the many people who helped make the candidate weekend go smoothly. Many thanks to Nancy Magnuson, Linda Wagner, Linda Wallace, Jorge and Evan Dias, Ted Colwell, the Food for the Soul Committee (Geri McCaw, Tom Boisvert, Vanessa Coutu, Jim Gillespie, Jorge Dias, Dawn Drum, and Phil, Lyn, and Bryce Johnson), Tracy Kelley, Jody Waldron and the Flower Committee, the Trustees (with special thanks to Tim Fields), the Deacons, Karen Ziel and Maggie McCaw. We would also like to thank the original pastoral search committee (Linda Wagner, Janet Barton, Ken Beaudoin, Vanessa Coutu, Jim Gillespie, Audra Holmes, Sara Olearnick, Chet Ryan, Hailey Tompkins, and Phil Ziel) again for laying the groundwork for the current committee. When extending gratitude, there is always the possibility of leaving someone out, so we apologize in advance if we inadvertently forgot to mention someone. Lastly, we want to express our appreciation for all church members who were able to attend and participate in the voting process which finalized the election of Reverend Will. In faith, Ellen Bauwens, Teresa Bielecki, Priscilla Donnelly, Amy Hopkins, Phil Johnson, Skip Kuzel, Don Lavoie, Edna Pelto, and Mark Tollman (Tom Boisvert, alternate) High School Senior!!
