As we approach the Lunar New Year on January 29, I’m reminded of the significance of this time in Korea. Gujeong (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) are two of the most important holidays, traditionally spent gathering with family to honor our elders and share meals. These are moments I cherish deeply, especially as I miss my family in Korea.
Even so, I am incredibly grateful for the new family I have here in Christ. My children, Joyce, and I feel truly adopted into the family of God here in this community. Every time we gather as a church, I am reminded of the love and connection we share. This past Sunday was a beautiful example of this. Our worship service was encouraging, our potluck luncheon was sweet and full of fellowship, and our children and youth ice skating outing was filled with laughter and joy.
If you missed the service, don’t worry—you can watch it online here: Hodgdon, Houlton, and Mars Hill. You can also read the sermon messages from Joyce and me.
I give thanks to God for each of you and for the loving community we share. Thank you for being part of this family.
Wishing you all a very Happy Lunar New Year!
Pastor Victor
