Family...
It is one of God's greatest blessings.
While I was in Korea this summer, the highlight of the trip was sharing the meals with the family. We shared rice (instead of breaking the bread!) so many times - day and night, at home and at restaurants. The more we ate together as a family, the closer we felt to each other. I didn't have a chance to really get to know my parents-in-law as I had to come to the US almost right after the wedding. But the meal table brought us together.
My favorite meal experience was having a picnic in my parents-in-law's backyard. My father-in-law is a good cook. His love language is to feed people. In the same way, our Heavenly Father is a great cook. He invites all of us to his large table. No one is excluded. Around this table, everyone becomes friends and family.
Once again, this Sunday we are invited to God's round table. There we sing, we listen, we talk, and we eat. The more often we come to this table, the stronger our bond becomes as God's family. So come, and worship with us!
Our Hodgdon and Mars Hill church families meet at 9 a.m., and the Houlton family at 11 a.m. The Houlton church celebrates Family Worship this Sunday - all generations come and worship together. Do you love to sing praises? You are invited to join us for our pickup choir. We will sing "Wonderful Words of Life" (UMH #600) and have rehearsal in the choir room at 10:30 a.m. this Sunday. There will be also a Love Feast potluck fellowship after the service. Please share your favorite dishes with us, or just come and enjoy the fellowship. There is always enough food and laughter. If you would like to help set up or clean up the table this Sunday, please let me know.
If you are not able to join us in person, you can worship with us online via the following links:
- Hodgdon UMC

Thank you for being with us. Have a blessed weekend, and see you Sunday!
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
