Please join us today, at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 Worship Services at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 Worship Services for our final message in our series,“Bless this Home.” This Sunday’s sermon is entitled “Persecuted.”

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12)

Pender’s Vision Statement: 

By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world.
