A Word From the Pastor, Reverend, Daeil Min

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Greetings to all our beloved members and friends of the United Methodist Church at Milltown. As the season of Lent unfolds and guides us toward the glorious day of Easter, we find ourselves reflecting on the profound journey of faith that leads us from contemplation to celebration. This year, we warmly invite each of you to join in the series of services and special events planned for this sacred time, a period that reminds us of both the sacrifice and triumphant resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our journey through Holy Week begins with a special Palm Sunday Breakfast at 9 a.m. on March 24th, offering a time of fellowship and nourishment before we commemorate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Fol-lowing the breakfast, our Palm Sunday Service will take place at 10 a.m., where we'll distribute palms in memory of Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem, marking the start of our week-long spiritual journey together.

As we move deeper into Holy Week, we'll gather for the Maundy Thursday Service on March 28th at 7:30 p.m. at Friendship Hall. This service is a time to remember the Last Supper and the new commandment Jesus gave to love one another, as he loved us. It's a profound moment of reflection on the sacrifices made and the love that binds us together as a community of faith.

The solemn observance continues with the Good Friday Service, a joint event with Aldersgate UMC, set for 7:30 p.m. at Aldersgate UMC. This service invites us to reflect on the passion and sacrificial death of Jesus, a cornerstone of our faith.

Welcoming the dawn of Easter, we will host an Easter Sunrise Service at Rutgers Garden at 6:30 a.m. This special gathering, amidst the beauty of creation at sunrise, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and the new life it heralds for all believers.

The culmination of our Easter observance is the Easter Service on March 31st at 10 a.m., back at our beloved United Methodist Church at Milltown. This service is a joyful expression of our faith, filled with uplifting mu-sic, prayer, and a message of eternal hope. It's a time to rejoice together in the resurrection of our Lord and the promise of eternal life it brings.

As we approach these holy days, let us also extend our hands and hearts to those around us who may be seeking comfort, hope, and the love of Christ. May this Easter season be a time of spiritual renewal and joy for all, as we celebrate the victory of Jesus over death and embrace the promise of new life.

With warmest Easter wishes,
Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
