God bless you for remembering them!
There are lots of benefits from being actively involved at Pender UMC. Getting to know people, and serving others gives you a sense of belonging. Being involved can have a very positive impact on your spiritual walk.
Become a member of Pender or at least attend often. Pender Connections classes are often held to help you with your decision.
There are always needs that have to be fulfilled. Below is a list of some of the ways you can get involved.

VBS Registration is Open!
Pender’s 2013 summer Vacation Bible School will be held July 8-12, from 9-12 each morning.
Our theme this year will be Gospel Light’s SonWest Roundup. Kids will “travel down the trail through the Old Testament stories of Moses to discover God’s ultimate plan of salvation in Jesus.” The Bible verse for the week will be Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
VBS is open to Cowboys and Cowgirls ages 3 through 6th grade (children MUST be potty trained – teachers will NOT change diapers).
