Celebrating Patrick’s Ministry at Pender

01 Aug

At the end of August, our Director of Music Ministries, Patrick, will be concluding his time on staff at Pender. We are deeply grateful for his faithful leadership, musical gifts, and dedicated service to our congregation.

Please join us for a farewell luncheon following worship on Sunday, August 30, as we celebrate Patrick’s ministry, thank him for the many ways he has enriched our worship, and wish him God’s blessings in the next chapter of his journey.

As a token of our appreciation, we are collecting a love offering for Patrick. If you would like to contribute, you may:

  • Select “Love Offering for Patrick” when giving online, or
  • Write “Love Offering for Patrick” on the memo line of your check or on your giving envelope.

Please submit all donations by Tuesday, August 25.

Thank you for helping us express our gratitude and appreciation for Patrick’s years of faithful service. We hope you’ll join us on August 30 as we celebrate all he has meant to the Pender family.
