Today at Pender UMC ~ October 11, 2015

disciples-path

 

Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, October 11th, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services.

Pastor Kenny & Pastor Dan will continue our sermon series based on our church-wide study, “A Disciple’s Path” and will be preaching on “The Way of Service” (Ephesians 4:1-16).

Servanthood — the practice by which the love of God becomes a tangible reality in our lives and through which we become active participants in God’s transformation of the world. Each of us has a role in the body of Christ, the church. Each of us has been called and gifted. We’ll explore how God has gifted you, where your heart has been broken, and where you are called to serve.

Listen to 244 past sermons by Pastors Kenny Newsome, Dan Elmore and others in the Pender Podcast.
