“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” –Romans 1:20

Wednesday April 23rd:
- Of note, guest speaker will be Mr. Hameed Afzali who spent 7 years as a top level interpreter for the US and coalition forces in Afghanistan. His experiences will provide a very different perspective regarding the war in Afghanistan vs. what we see on the news. Recently, Hameed and his family were identified as supporters of the coalition by the Taliban who threatened to kill all of them. Due to this high risk situation, he and his family were rapidly extricated by the State Department to the US under a special visa program. Currently, he is living in Silver Spring, MD with his wife and two children. Having arrived in the US with very little support, the NVMMO church coalition, of which Pender is a member, has been supporting Hameed and his family start their new life in America. We think you will find his story highly interesting.

Our 2014 Easter Event was a Huge Success!
We had 150 children plus their families attend on Monday and everyone had a great time learning about the true meaning of Easter and enjoying egg hunts, crafts, and the Easter Bunny. To see the happy faces and the great joy of this most beautiful day, click on this link.
Special thanks to Sowmya Subramanian and Harmonie Taddeo for heading up this event and to ALL of the many volunteers who helped make this day so special.

Today’s Bible Verse
“[The Resurrection of Christ] Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,” –1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4
Easter and Lilies
EASTER LILIES AND THE RESURRECTION. Does your church fill up its chancel area with Lilies on Easter? And what do lilies and Easter have in common?
