This year our special Wednesday evening Lenten services will feature a special Lenten Worship Series titled “The Trials of Jesus”
Like a courtroom drama, a series of witnesses come forward to give testimony about their experiences with the accused – Jesus Christ. Through their accounts we come to know the truth that Jesus came to take out place in the defendant’s chair. The services will include dramatic monologues, thematic hymns, special music and prayers, all that bear evidence to the fact that Jesus truly is the Son of God.
The weekly themes and accompanying Biblical text are as follows:
All services begin at 7:00 pm, proceeded by a “soup supper” at 6:00pm. Plan now to join us for our Lenten fellowship and our special Worship services.
May God bless our Lenten journey.

If you are ever nostalgic for a traditional church picnic, then don’t miss our Rally Day Picnic to kick off the school year. We will gather at the South end of our campus after our 11:00 AM Worship Service to enjoy a BBQ and potluck style sides and desserts! There will be great music from a live band. Plus the kids can enjoy games and activities in the park. Good old fashion fun!

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY (H4H) UPDATE APRIL 2011
First off I have an address correction for the build site. The address is:
18451 Patterson Lane, Huntington Beach
H4H address
It’s the open lot on the west side just off Ellis. With this address GPS units won’t be fooled anymore.
As of April 5 construction has not yet begun, but is scheduled to start this month.
“FAITH Builds Day”
In April I’m placing a request for a “FAITH Builds Day” assignment. This will be a Saturday.
This “Build Day” Saturday is the day all of us get together and actually go to the site and perform whatever building tasks their site engineers have scheduled (you must be 18 or older). Since this is being done in advance I have no way of knowing what tasks we might be called on to perform, however we will be put to good use.
I expect our build day will be sometime in June or July 2011, and we are not limited to only one. Once our build day(s) request is processed we’ll be given an actual date or dates which I will publish as it becomes available.
To place the “Build Day” request I need to know approximately how many volunteers we are. This allows H4H to schedule enough, yet not too many volunteers on any particular day. Please respond via email ASAP to greggleonard@verizon.net and communicate your desire to participate in our “FAITH Builds Day”. Remember you must be 18 or older to volunteer on site.
Opportunities to volunteer exist that do not require wielding a hammer, paint brush or nail gun, i.e.: “Lunch Brigade”. We are looking for a dedicated volunteer to head up this important department. As we all know an ARMY of volunteers runs in its stomach.
YOUTH VOLUNTEERS
Younger volunteers are welcome and encouraged to participate in offsite activities. Jack Schlinsog jackschlinsog@gmail.com is coordinating our youth volunteers.
Thank you for your desire to serve your neighbor in this special way, and remember to specify what type of volunteer you are: Hammer n Saw, Youth or Lunch Brigade. You may be a volunteer in more than one area if you choose.

Hammer n Saw liaison
Good news, our campus is holding up well, not much breaking down in the first months of this Glorious New Year.
There are a few items on the horizon to be aware of. First off carpet cleaning will be scheduled sometime before Easter; the exact date is yet to be determined. Second Properties is looking into slurry coating and re-striping the parking lot in the coming months. As always “Work Day” is the second Saturday of the month from 9AM-Noon.
Thanks for showing your support!
Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent are teamed up to build in our own back yard. What an opportunity this presents for FAITH CONGREGATION to reach outside ourselves in our own community.
This build is scheduled to break ground April 2011 and be completed December 2011.
The build address is: 18451 Patterson St., Huntington Beach it is located on the North side of Ellis between Faith and Beach Bl. “WALKING DISTANCE” Check it out.
Properties unanimously approved a motion to volunteer the use of our parking lot for Habitat volunteers as parking on-site is limited. Opportunities are coming up in June for “Build Day” volunteers. Stay tuned for updates on how you can become part of “FAITH’S HABITAT HAMMER-N-SAW TEAM”
For info, or to volunteer, see Gregg Leonard; No experience necessary.
Opportunities to serve in Fundraising, Youth Activities, providing Lunches, and Site Hosting are also available for the tool challenged, yet WILLING volunteer.
Go to ThriventBuilds.com for more information.
I will be putting together Faith’s hammer-n-saw team, and scheduling a build day for us. Email greggleonard@verizon.net to volunteer and get on the emailing list.
