Peace to you.
Sometimes a small word makes a big difference.
At first, our Lenten theme was Journey to Transformation. But as I prayed and reflected, I realized that Journey of Transformation expresses our faith more faithfully.
If we say journey to transformation, it sounds like transformation is a "destination" — something we reach at the end. But journey of transformation reminds us that change is an ongoing process. God is at work in every step, every season, every stage of life.
During these forty days, I have felt deeply privileged to read, edit, and share our church family’s faith stories daily. In each story, I see the quiet and faithful work of God over time. If you would like to read them, you can find them here: https://2026lent.blogspot.com/. And if you would like to share your own story, I would be honored to help you.
At times, our journey feels like a battlefield. We groan. We struggle. Sometimes we feel like we are just trying to survive. Barely hanging in there. Yet the Bible reminds us again and again that we live from victory, not for victory.
But what is the foundation of that victory?
This Sunday, we will look at First Epistle to the Corinthians, especially the well-known chapter 13 - love chapter. Together we will discover why Christians can live with hope and become eternal optimists, no matter the circumstances.
Please join us for worship this Sunday. At Houlton, we will have Family Worship, followed by a Love Feast potluck luncheon. Please also remember to return your Baby Bottles for the Pregnancy Care Center.
Have a joyful weekend. I look forward to worshiping with you.
Pastor Victor
