Please join us THIS Saturday, September 28th
from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall
for the UMW Fall Women’s Retreat
All women are welcome, so please invite your friends and family!
Our theme this year will be “Making A Difference,” and we will focus on how we can make a difference in the lives of others near and far. We will be hearing from guest speakers from within Pender and from the local community about their experiences and about ministry opportunities. We will spend time during the afternoon working onsite in small groups on mission projects. Additionally, we will have several breakout discussions and fellowship activities focused on how the UMW can make a difference in our community.
Are you interested in singing with our choir for our Christmas Cantata?
Rehearsals will start Thursday, Oct. 17th, and will run from 7:30 until about 8:00 pm.
(The Cantata will be presented at the 8:15 and 11:00 services on Sunday, Dec. 15th.)
If you are interested please contact Theresa Carpenter or Nicole Parrish.
Sing ‘n Celebrate Celebration of Children at October 6 at 6:30 (Note time change)
We read in Matthew 7:12 – “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you”, which is commonly known as the Golden Rule.
This statement, as Jesus formulated it, is the foundation of active goodness and mercy — the kind of love God shows to us every day.
We have a special opportunity next Sunday to be witness to our children and grandchildren demonstrating in words and acting this type of love.
Sermon on September 22nd:
Children must be Taught – Deuteronomy 4:9
Who trains your child? You or the Public School? Who gives your child his/her values, morals? You or the Day Care? Who instructs your child about faith? You or the Church? It’s a duty to train up a child and teach the commandments. How are you doing with it?
“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” (Deuteronomy 4:9)
