Share Your God Moments During Lent!

God works in our lives in so many wonderful ways.  As we spend time during the Lenten season focused on God’s presence, we would love to hear how you see God working in your lives or in the lives of others.  We believe the more you see God, the more you SEE God!  Share your God moments with us in the comments below!  

“Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.” (Psalm 145:4-7)

Matthew 25:39 ‘When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

Covid restrictions are lifted and we can bring as many as who want to come. Still masks, though.

The Upper Room

5_URE_ND14_Cvr.jpg

Get your copy or The Upper Room at Pender UMC each month in regular or large print versions.

The Upper Room magazine’s mission is to provide a model of practical Christianity, accessible in varied formats, to help people feel invited and welcomed into God’s presence to:

  • listen to scripture as God’s personal message, linking their stories to God’s story;
  • commune with God in prayer;
  • see their daily choices and small acts of obedience as part of God’s work;
  • realize our connection through Christ as a universal family of believers;
  • encounter the living Christ and be transformed into Christ’s likeness.

From Chuck Knows Church.  The Upper Room. It’s the place where Jesus had his last meal with his disciples, but it’s also the world’s most widely read daily devotional guide. Chuck explains the significance of this “little book”.

Remember to Change your Clock Tonight!

fall-back-feature

Daylight Saving Time 2022 ends for the year so the clock change for the fall takes place in the morning at 2 a.m. Daylight Saving Time 2022 seems overdue, but it is the same time each year.

The clock changes on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March each year.

And, time to sing again…
