From RevKev, Associate Pastor at Pender…
Friends, As of this morning, we have the official release date for Faith In Pink! All proceeds from this project will go towards breast cancer comfort baskets/items for those seeking treatment at INOVA Fair Oaks.
It will be on October 19th, in the evening at Pender UMC. Tentative 6:30 until 8:00. We will have several testimonies and have asked for a special guest to talk, from INOVA Fair Oaks.
I hope that you will block out this date, as we play music from our latest CD and listen to others speak about their faith walk during their battle with the disease. The evening at Pender will be the initial release for the CD. As with our past CDs, 100% of ALL proceeds will go to INOVA Fair Oaks for their new Cancer Center and faith baskets to give to those in their time of need. All are invited. No charge, and dessert will be served.
