Life Together Community (Ascension Sunday, May 21, 2023)

 

(*With my good friend, Pastor Steve Straubel at the GHCA Bike-a-Thon 2023)

Peace to you. 

First of all, I want to thank you for your heartfelt love and support for the Bike-a-Thon fundraiser of the Greater Houlton Christian Academy (GHCA). So many of you personally reached out to my family and me and made generous donations toward Christian education for the next generation. We even received a donation from an anonymous donator. Joyce and I just give thanks to God for you. 

Friends, this Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of our Lord. How may we even grasp this holy mystery? How might Jesus' disciples have felt after Jesus had ascended to heaven? They were waiting. We too are waiting today. We wait as though a bride waits for her groom. We wait as though a pilgrim waits for the day when they arrive at their final destination. 

Brides of Christ, pilgrims of God, be encouraged! Come, let us be gathered in one spirit. Hodgdon UMC and Mars Hill UMC meet at 9 am this Sunday, and the Houlton at 11 am. If you are not able to come in person, you can worship with us online via the following links:

I am so grateful for our journey together. See you Sunday!


In Christ,
Pastor Victor
