We believe God is going to use these next three weeks to bring hope to you and hope through you! It’s going to stretch and grow your faith to new levels while helping others see the difference God can make in their life.
Here’s how the works. You will receive a daily email as well as a few text messages throughout the week. Each step along the way will include the following:
Each day the goals are designed to help you and others experience God’s love in some way. Some things will involve your social media or texting, and others involve sharing your faith story. The idea over the next 3 weeks is to help your friends, family and acquaintances see how God is working in your life. We believe this will have a huge impact on our area as we all jump on board and do this together.
We are praying for you and know God is going to use you like never before.
Lenten Hymn and Devotion 4, Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Brian Stevenson, Pender UMC Director of Handbells and Ensembles, presents a series of hymn-based devotions on Wednesdays during Lent.
The Fourth is Beneath the Cross of Jesus
1. Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2. Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3. I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.

Daylight Savings time begins again!
On Sunday, March 8, 2026 at 2:00:00 AM (or earlier!) clocks are turned forward 1 hour to become Sunday, March 8, 2026 at 3:00:00 AM
Daylight Savings Time is not just a way to annoy us when we want to sleep in on Sundays. The modern idea of daylight saving was first proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson and it was first implemented during the First World War.
Although most of the United States used DST throughout the 1950s and 1960s, DST use expanded following the 1970s energy crisis and has generally remained in use in North America and Europe since that time.
Everybody sing along…
