Sing ‘n Celebrate at 5:00 pm in the Sanctuary
Sing ‘n Celebrate is Pender Church’s informal evening worship service that has a focus on contemporary Christian music and original dramas and testimonies. Dress is casual and the atmosphere offers a wonderful means to start the week with God in mind.
In addition to music and testimonies, prayer is offered. Communion is served periodically.
Whether you are a new Christian, or have been following Christ for years, this is just a wonderful way to gather in fellowship, sing songs to God and listen to your brothers and sisters as they share their faith. We invite you to come and bring a friend, meet other Pender People and leave with a song on your heart and the Son in your eyes.
SING ‘N CELEBRATE
CELEBRATING CHILDREN
OCT. 2, 5-6 PM, IN THE PENDER SANCTUARY
Join us for an opportunity to show appreciation for the Pender kids who will share with us portions of Sarah Young’s version of “Jesus Calling” which has been adapted in a language and fashion that kids can relate to their everyday lives. Our Worship Leader is selecting songs which can easily be enjoyed by both kids and adults, also.
Sunday will be World Communion Sunday
One of the special Sundays authorized by the General Conference to be observed with the taking of an offering throughout the denomination.
World Communion Sunday is observed the first Sunday in October. The observance focuses the attention of United Methodists on the universal and inclusive nature of the church.
