Happy Thanksgiving!
As we reflect on this year’s ups and downs, twists and turns, one thing remains constant: God's unwavering faithfulness. Thanksgiving reminds us to pause and praise Him, our Savior and Provider, for His countless blessings.
This Sunday, we’ll gather for a special Thanksgiving service to celebrate with gratitude and joy. Here’s what’s planned:
Hodgdon UMC – 9:00 AM
- Special Music to lift our spirits and give thanks to God.
- Message: We’ll conclude our sermon series, "Belong," based on Ephesians. Together, we’ll explore how Paul remained joyful even in suffering (while in prison) and how we, too, can cultivate gratitude in every circumstance.
Mars Hill UMC – 9:00 AM
- Family Worship led by Pastor Joyce. Do you ever feel unworthy or insignificant? Come and hear what God has to say! Pastor Joyce will share a message from Psalm 132, reflecting on how God considered David "a man after my own heart," even though he was a broken man. Like David, we are deeply loved and blessed by God, no matter our brokenness—and that’s a reason to celebrate!
Houlton UMC – 11:00 AM
- Family Worship followed by a special coffee hour* (*instead of the Love Feast Potluck this month).
- Pick-Up Choir: Everyone is invited to join us in singing "Morning Has Broken" (UMC Hymn #145). Whether you’re an experienced singer or just love making a joyful noise, please come! We’ll rehearse briefly in the choir room before the service.
- Intergenerational Band: Special music led by musicians of all ages, sharing their talents in worship.
Additionally, we’ll be giving out a meaningful Advent devotional gift, "A Time for Wonder." This 4-week devotional will guide us as we prepare our hearts for Christmas. It’s a beautiful resource for personal reflection and family devotions.
We can’t wait to gather with you for this time of praise and thanksgiving. Bring your family, invite friends, and let’s worship our faithful God together.
Looking forward to celebrating with you,
Pastor Victor
“Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 106:1
