Pender’s Children’s Council & our American Heritage Girls are collecting toys for Operation Christmas Child. Bags for items will be distributed to our Sunday School classes.

Assistance is needed with shipping the boxes abroad which costs $7.00 per box. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches & ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.

Please make checks payable to Pender United Methodist Church and state in the Memo line “Operation Christmas Child ” and place in the offering plate/basket by Sunday, November 10th.

If you have any questions, please contact Cherie Kronimus.

Sunday November 3 at Pender

02 Nov

Sermon on November 3 – By the Mercy of God – I Timothy 1:12-17

At times we are our own worst enemy. We have 20/20 hindsight and it seems to remember the bad things we have done.However, the Good News reminds us that Christ’s good thing is more powerful than our bad thing and that means we are forgiven and serving out of God’s mercy.

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength,that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.” (1 Timothy 1:12)

Ushers NEEDED!

30 Oct

ushers

Pender has a very acute shortage of ushers, especially for the 8:15 service. (This will become all the more apparent around Christmas time.)

Please consider committing to offer your help as an usher once a month in November and December for either the 8:15 or 11:00 service.

To volunteer to be an usher please click on this link or make an indication of interest on the Connection Card on Sunday.
