Today, August 24, at Pender UMC
At our 8:15 & 11:00 worship services on Sunday, August 24th, we return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be atime to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear a sermon series based on the importance of “Revival.”
Pastor Kenny will be preaching on “A Neglected Salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3-4)
The writer of Hebrews asks a simple question. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” Have we neglected it? From what do we escape? Let’s see how great a salvation we have been given and claim it this week.
At our 9:30 Common Ground Worship Service, RevKev will continue his Sermon Series on “The Stories of Jesus.” His sermon this Sunday is entitled “Jesus, Light of the World” (John 8:12-20)
