*Nicodemus Visiting Jesus, by Henry Ossawa Tanner (1899)
"Are any among you suffering?
They should pray.
Are any cheerful?
They should sing songs of praise.
Are any among you sick?
They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them,
anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord."
(James 5:13-14)
Where are you on your journey?
We are all in different places and stages of our life journey. The encouraging news is that wherever we are, God is there with us. God's grace is always sufficient no matter what.
This Sunday we are invited to meet Doubting Nicodemus in John 3. And we will see how Jesus guides his journey from doubt to faith with patience and love. Come, and let us worship together.

UMCOR Sunday
UMCOR Sunday is March 10. Previously known as One Great Hour Of Sharing, this Sunday enables the United Methodist Committee on Relief to reach out through worldwide ministries of food, shelter, health and peace.
UMCOR provides hope for communities and individuals whose lives have been upset by war, storms or other crises. This ministry is achieved exclusively through your generosity. Last year, your generosity (through November 2023) delivered $1.5 million for direct ministry to persons in need.
We will continue to collect our special offering for UMCOR throughout March and send it to them early next month. Thank you very much for your partnership.
Spring Forward
DON'T FORGET TO 'SPRING FORWARD' WITH CLOCKS THIS SUNDAY! We may lose perhaps a bit of sleep but gain more glorious sunlight in the evenings as we greet a warmer spring season. Please make sure you have enough rest this weekend. Service Link
Our Sunday service will be livestreamed via the church's Facebook page (Hodgdon and Houlton), as well as the YouTube Live (Houlton): https://youtube.
May God bless you and keep you. Love you all.
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
