(The Houlton Festival of Trees, Nov 10, 2023)
"Light Up"
Leif Peterson, Eugene Peterson's son, said that his father 'fooled' everyone - how for 30 years every week his dad made people think he was saying something new. But in fact, he had only one message. The same message that he whispered softly to his son's sleeping head every night: "God loves you. He's on your side. He's coming after you. He's relentless."
We may dread the start of winter. We may dread the dark night of the soul. But even in the dark valley we have reason to celebrate. We have reason to light up. God loves us, He's on our side, He's coming after us, and He's relentless. This is good news.
So come and celebrate with us. You are invited to join us for our Sunday Service. Hodgdon and Mars Hill churches will gather at 9 am, and the Houlton at 11 am. If you are not able to come in person, you can worship with us online via the church's Facebook Live:
- Hodgdon UMC
- Houlton UMC: YouTube and Facebook
- Mars Hill UMC
God loves you, and there's nothing you can do about it.
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
