About MaryO

Cushing's and kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) patient, founder, owner and webmaster of Cushing's Help and Support, web designer, piano teacher and mom. I am a Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms since 1983 (or earlier) and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1987. Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us! In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms. I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases. My entire bio to date can be found here: http://www.cushings-help.com/maryos_story.htm But, enough of that - it's not always about Cushing's, or even Cancer. This one is about Life!

This Sunday, Nov. 22nd, is Church Conference Sunday and we will have only ONE Worship Service at 10:00 am. Join us for a yummy lunch after the service!

We will celebrate our ministries and elect our officers for the coming year. YOU need to be there because we will present for the church’s approval the new building and renovation program. EVERY member of Pender needs to be present so that you may have a vote about this important endeavor in the life of our church.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • No Adult and Children Sunday School.
  • Childcare will be provided from 9:45-11:45am for children birth through Kindergarten during the worship service.
  • Jr. Church for grades 1-6 will be held after the Children’s Message during the service.
  • Our Trustees request for everyone to carpool that day, if at all possible, so that parking isn’t a problem.
  • A luncheon will be held right after the worship service in the Fellowship Hall.

Pender People Praying … What can you be praying for Pender this week?

As we pray about our upcoming building renovations, please pray also for the persecuted Christians who have no building in which to worship.

Start your day with God at 5:30 am on Wednesdays for a time of prayer at Pender in the Sanctuary.
