Pender’s Music Ministry is considering starting a transportation ministry to help those families who are unable to get their children to the church for choir and bell rehearsals. The idea behind this is to pick up children before the rehearsals only – we would not be able to bring them back home.

If picking your child up truly is not possible for you, let us know and we may be able to find other parents in your area willing to carpool. Before we can do that, however, we need to know how much interest there would be in starting this ministry.

If this Music Transportation Ministry would help your family, please contact Theresa Carpenter here.

Let Theresa know:

. child’s name

. grade

. where your child would need to be picked up from

. whether or not you would be able to pick your child up at 6 PM

The Pender Church Council is considering two options for updating the Pender UMC logo and is looking for your thoughts on the two options under consideration.

The new logo will be used on various materials to communicate better to people on the outside who may not know about Pender.

Our desire is for the logo to communicate a little about who we are as a church, and to encourage someone to check us out.

Please comment on both logo options online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R3KCR2Z

Option One
