Senior Pastor,
Reverend, Daeil Min
Greetings, UMC at Milltown Family!
As the leaves begin to change and we welcome the crisp air of October, we are reminded of the beauty of transformation and the steady march of time. This season not only brings us closer to the end of the year but also to a significant moment in our nation's journey—the upcoming presidential election.
Our country stands at a crossroads, and each of us has the profound opportunity to shape its future through the simple yet powerful act of voting. It is both a privilege and a responsibility that we, as citizens and followers of Christ, are called to uphold. Participating in the electoral process is one way we can contribute to the common good and ensure that our nation's values align with principles of justice, compassion, and integrity.
In these times of heightened dialogue and diverse opinions, let us seek wisdom in our decisions. James 1:5 reminds us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Let us earnestly pray for discernment, not only for ourselves but also for our leaders and fellow citizens.
Unity within our community is more important than ever. While we may hold different perspectives, we are united by our shared faith and commitment to love one another. Let us engage in conversations with grace, listen with open hearts, and extend kindness to those with whom we may disagree. In doing so, we embody the teachings of Jesus and strengthen the bonds that hold us together.
I encourage each of you to take the necessary steps to ensure your voice is heard. Verify your voter registration, learn about the candidates and issues, and make a plan to vote. Whether you vote early, by mail, or on Election Day, your participation is vital.
As we navigate this pivotal time, let us anchor ourselves in prayer and fellowship. May we be guided by the Holy Spirit to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
Blessings to you all,
Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
