Book Lovers Group

📚✨ Embark on a Literary Journey with Fellow Bibliophiles! ✨📚

Are your shelves brimming with tales of intrigue, suspense, and the pursuit of knowledge? Whether you’re a devotee of the latest bestsellers or a connoisseur of timeless classics, the Book Lovers Group is your next chapter!

🗓️ Join us virtually each month on the second Sunday at 4:00 PM for an adventure through pages that promise to be as thrilling as the stories we devour. Our rendezvous lasts approximately 1 1/2 hours—perfect for a deep dive into the heart of each book.

Engage in spirited debates that will challenge your perspectives, enrich your reading experience, and connect you with stories in ways you never expected. Will you be the champion of the underdog novel, or the critic of the acclaimed bestseller? Our discussions are as varied and captivating as the books themselves.

For our upcoming gathering, we’re diving into “James” by Percival Everett.

📅 Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 10 at 4 PM, and let’s unravel the wonders of Jame’s world together, all from the comfort of your own reading nook.

Fun with Music

02 Aug

Returning September 8 at 10am.

Step into a world of giggles and song with “Fun “with Music at Pender! This is not just any music class – it’s a journey through sound and imagination designed especially for preschoolers and their favorite grown-ups. Since 2013, Jim and Roberta Pont have been creating a space where tiny toes tap, and little voices echo with joy, crafting a magical musical experience for children from birth to five years old.

Wave ‘hello’ and join us every Monday morning for a delightful 30-minute musical escapade! Our littlest musicians and their families come together at 10 AM to sing, dance, and make friends with tunes. We dive into a treasure trove of stuffed animals and toys, transforming the room into an enchanting stage for our budding performers. With every stuffed lion’s roar or elephant’s trumpet, your child’s imagination will soar!

After the musical fiesta, it’s time for a yummy snack, followed by playtime where kids can explore and make-believe. Meanwhile, moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers can relish a homemade brunch prepared with love – a perfect chance to mingle and share stories.

Our box of wonders is always brimming with surprises! One day it’s a car zooming around, another day it’s a train chugging along. Flip it over and voilà, it’s a drum or even a rumbling thunder to match the beat of our songs. From “The Wheels on the Bus” to sparkling new Bible-based rhymes, we have tunes that will make your little one’s heart dance with every beat!

One week, our pint-sized percussionists marched on bubble wrap to the rhythm of a march, popping and hopping with glee. And guess what’s next? A tunnel adventure awaits their curious little eyes and eager hands!

So, if you’re a parent with a playful tot between zero to five, and Monday mornings are open, come and make a splash in our sea of melodies at ‘Melody Mornings’. It’s not just fun; it’s a musical hug for the heart and soul. Can’t wait to sing and swing into a new day of joy with you and your little one!

This class meets every Monday starting September 9 at 10 am except for school holidays.
