It's Christmas.
On this day we celebrate the coming of Jesus and also anticipate his second coming.
What makes Christianity different from all other religions can be summarized in two words: Jesus Christ. After his conversion, Sundar Singh visited a Hindu college in India, and a professor accosted him aggressively and asked, “What have you found in Christianity that you don’t have in your old religion?” Sundar Singh replied, “I have Christ.” The professor continued impatiently, “Yes, I know, but what particular principle or doctrine have you found that you did not have before?” Sundar Singh replied, “The particular thing I have found is Christ.”
Christ is our reason to hope, to love, to rejoice, to have peace - no matter what.
Come, let us adore Christ together this Sunday. There will be both morning and evening services. In the morning, Hodgdon church gathers at 9 am. Mars Hill church celebrates with a Christmas Pageant at 9 am. Houlton church will welcome our new church members as well as present a Christmas Pageant at 11 am. Also, our all-ages choir will be singing "Do You Hear What I Hear" and rehearsal will be in the choir room at 10:30 am. All are welcome to join in.
