Today at Pender UMC

06 Sep

Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, September 6th, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services.

This Sunday, Bishop Cho has asked us to join with all of the United Methodist Churches and the African Methodist Episcopal Church denomination in observing a“Day of Confession, Repentance, Prayer & Commitment to End Racism.”

Pastor Kenny will be preaching at our 8:15 and 11:00 services and his sermon title for Sunday is “A Reminder from Ferguson.”

Pastor Dan will be preaching at our 9:30 Contemporary service and his sermon title for Sunday is “Jesus the Racist?” (Mark 7:24-30)

Events around our country in recent months and years prove that racism is still alive and well in America. “Yeah, but, I’m not racist,” we might say. And we would surely never call Jesus a racist, would we? What happens when Jesus is confronted by a person of a different race? What happens when the same might occur for us? Exploring these questions is a great first step. Join us on the journey.
