As we continue our Lenten journey, I want to personally invite you to our first Lenten Soup & Devotion gathering this Wednesday at noon at Houlton UMC. This is a special time for our Hodgdon, Houlton, and Mars Hill congregations to come together for fellowship, a warm meal, and spiritual reflection. Pastor Joyce will be leading our devotional time, guiding us deeper into the meaning of Lent.
This past Sunday, I shared the well-known story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), reflecting on priorities—choosing what is essential over what feels urgent. Joyce also shared about Martha and Mary in the context of Lazarus’s death, reminding us that Jesus not only saves but also weeps with us in our grief.
If you’d like to revisit our messages, here they are:
- My message: "Saving the Saved" – Luke 10:38-42
- Joyce’s message: "Jesus Wetp." Read here
Lent is a time to slow down, reflect, and draw closer to Jesus. I encourage you to set aside this hour in the middle of your week to be renewed by Scripture, prayer, and community. The devotional time will be livestreamed via the church's Facebook Live.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at noon!
Pastor Victor
