A Word From the Pastor, Reverend, Daeil Min

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the United Methodist Church at Milltown,

As the crisp autumn air settles in and the leaves display their magnificent hues, we are gently reminded of the season of Thanksgiving—a time to reflect upon the abundant blessings bestowed upon us by our gracious God.  This month, I invite each of you to pause and give thanks for the myriad ways God has touched our lives, our families, and our beloved church community.

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it's a posture of the heart. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are encouraged to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Let us embrace this calling by:

Reflecting on Personal Blessings: Take time each day to acknowledge the gifts in your life, both big and small.

Expressing Gratitude to Others: A kind word or gesture can brighten someone's day and spread the spirit of thankfulness.

Serving Those in Need: Consider volunteering or donating to support our community outreach 
programs during this season.

This November holds special significance as we commemorate a monumental milestone—our 180th Anniversary! For nearly two centuries, the United Methodist Church at Milltown has been a beacon of faith, hope, and love. Generations have walked through our doors, seeking solace, community, and a closer relationship with God.

To honor this legacy, we warmly invite you to our 180th Anniversary Celebration:
Date: Saturday, November 16th
Time: 5:30 PM
Location: Friendship Hall

We will enjoy a traditional potluck supper, so please bring your favorite dish to share. There will be games, prizes, music, and fun for all ages. It's a wonderful opportunity to fellowship, reminisce, and look forward to the future God has in store for us.

As we celebrate our past, we also cast our eyes forward. Let us recommit ourselves to the mission of our church—to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Together, we can continue to build upon the strong foundation laid by those who came before us.

I am deeply thankful for each one of you. Your faithfulness, generosity, and love make our church the vibrant community that it is. May this season of Thanksgiving fill your hearts with joy and your homes with peace.

In Christ's love,
Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
