Family.
The Korean word for family, "식구" (shikgu) roughly means “mouths that eat.” The word originally meant people who live in one house and have meals together.
The dining table brings people together. It shapes us into who we are, helping us create memories and building character. Almost every evening the Hans gather around the dinner table and share our "highs and lows" of the day. We often sidetrack, but still we share so many invaluable things - our feelings, our values, our struggles, our joys, our aspirations - together.
Worship is like dining at the table of the Lord. God is our Father, and we all sit around the table. We sing, we pray, we listen, we share our joys and concerns, we share what we are and what we have. We make memories and build community together.
This Sunday (4th Sunday of the month) we celebrate Family Worship (@ Houlton UMC). All generations come to worship together. In particular, the Greater Houlton Christian Academy (GHCA) will worship with us. Mrs. Albers and the choir will lead worship in song, and Mr. Albers, head of school, will deliver the message. We will continue our fellowship as we have the Love Feast potluck luncheon after the service. We are encouraged to bring our favorite dishes or desserts to share!
Thank you for being among us. Looking forward to worshiping and making memories together this Sunday!
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
