Please join us this Sunday, June 21, in worship at the 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 Services.
Sermon Series: STORIES
June 21 – Annual Conference Sunday. “Father Knows Best”
Using Romans 8:18-25 as a base, we will take a closer look at the significance of Father’s Day from a variety of perspectives – most importantly, God’s. Thom Jones will be preaching at 8:15 and 11:00am
What is the Annual Conference?
An Annual Conference is a regional body that governs much of the life of the “Connectional Church.” Sound confusing? We agree. Chuck will try to make sense of “Annual Conferences” when he makes a conference call.
Listen to past sermons in the Pender Podcast.
