The Night Before

We all got together last night to pack and get ready for our trip. We are all very excited to leave on this fine Thursday afternoon. Please keep us in your prayers while we travel!

We had to double check all of the weights to make sure they would fit the airlines restrictions.

All of the final ear was packed and ready!

Today at Pender UMC ~ June 26, 2016

26 Jun

Please join us this today, June 26th, at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am Worship Services. Pastor Kenny will be preaching at the 8:15 and 11:00 am services on “How to Handle Anxiety as a Christian” (Philippians 4:4-9). Pastor Dan will be preaching on the same subject at the 9:30 service.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:4-7)

Check out this summer video greeting from Pastor Dan:
