Abe beat me.
This morning Joyce, Abe, and I participated in the 5K Love Run race to support the ministry of Strong Tower Haiti. It's official: Abe beat me in the race for the first time... and he will from now on.
Though I felt a little bit "strange" as the tables were turned around, I was not saddened by it. Rather, I celebrated it and cheered him up as he was overtaking me. I think I just begin to learn a "father's heart."
Jesus said, "The one who believes in me will do greater works than the works I do" (John 14:12). In the community of Jesus, we meet a "father" who walks ahead of us, alongside us, and behind us, cheering us up. In the community of Jesus, we also become a "father" to newer family members and do the same.
What a blessing to have and be a father-like figure in God's family. Thanks be to God! You're invited to join us for our Sunday Worship Service as we celebrate Father's Day together. Hodgdon UMC and Mars Hill UMC meet at 9 am this Sunday, and Houlton UMC at 11 am. If you are not able to come in person, you can worship with us online at the following links:

Thank you for being you. Happy Father's Day!
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
