The Service was led by the Lay Reader Kenneth Lule and the sermon was by the Lay Reader of St. Paul Church of Uganda Nakigalala Polycarp Kakooza.
In his sermon, Mub. Kakooza thanked Mr. Ssebaggala the Head of Laity for organising the Lent Service. He was sad to note that some people are not fasting yet they are warming up to celebrate the Resurrection Sunday.
He based his sermon on the theme "Where art thou?" (Oli luuyi wa?)
He challenged the congregation whether they have ever known that they are 'naked'. He said that these days people are behaving in acts that show that they are spiritually naked and when they realise it, they never accept their sins.
He said that the world became sinful because Adam and Eve refused to repent of their sins before God. He said that some people decided to get out Church using some simple excuses that "obubbo bwayitirira mu kkanisa" but God has given us this Lent season to repent of our sins and then return to Church.

He said that Zachaeus knew his problem and climbed on sycamore tree to see Jesus until Jesus noticed him and called him to come down. He said that people need to use the Zachaeus approach to see Jesus and repent of their sins so that they too can recieve salvation before Jesus. "You need to position yourself so that Jesus sees you and handles your issues" he said.
He said that during this Lent season people need to be able to calm down and listen to what God is telling you.
