Good Friday
Good Friday. It’s also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday or Easter Friday. We all know the terrible events of this day, but why is it called “good”? Chuck explains.
Lenten Choir Cantata, Tonight
Join us Holy Thursday evening at 7:30pm for the presentation of the Lenten Cantata “Colors of Grace” by Joseph and Pamela Martin. This musical work explores the greatest lessons of Jesus’ ministry (service, obedience, humility and forgiveness) and how He taught these lessons by example. Through Christ, the full spectrum of God’s grace is reflected in beautiful hues upon our lives, particularly during Holy Week.
The Cantata will be presented by the Pender Sanctuary Choir. The service will include communion to commemorate the Passover meal.
Holy Thursday
Maunday Thursday. It’s also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer Thursday and Thursday of Mysteries! Whew. . .but what exactly is this important day in the holy week? Chuck explains.

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.
