Friday, July 10 ~ See What Our Children have Done!

At this year’s VBS, kids embarked on an icy expedition where they overcame obstacles with God’s awesome power. Kids were anchored in rock-solid Bible truths that will guide them through life’s challenges.

In addition, each day kids rotated through music, recreation, snack, craft, storytelling and even some “laboratory” time!

The VBS Final Program will be Friday, June 10 at 11 am.

At Pender’s Music Camp, rising second through sixth graders sing in choir, play Orff instruments, ring handbells, experiment with rhythm in a percussion class, learn to read music, and make crafts.

Friday afternoon traditionally concludes with musical performances which our campers perform for friends and family!

The Music Camp Final Program will be Friday, July 10 at 3:00 pm.

Safety First!

06 Jul

The Pender Trustees are establishing a Security Committee to ensure the church facilities and those using the church are safe. If you are interested in participating or simply have inputs or ideas, contact Brian Shaub by clicking on this link, or come to our first open meeting on Saturday, July 11th, at 10 am at Pender.

Brian Shaub & Tom McDonald will present their approach and purpose, take inputs and establish a small committee.

We can really use those who are knowledgeable and experienced in physical and personnel security!

Today, Sunday, July 5 at Pender UMC

05 Jul

Pastor Dan Elmore is back with us. Dan became our Associate Pastor, again, in 2015 after serving here previously 2010-2012.

During the time in between, he started a church from scratch, and then helped another existing congregation reach out to new people, especially those who don’t “do church.” He brings those same goals to Pender.

He is passionate about leading people to discover more about God. In doing so, we always discover more about ourselves (funny how it never works the other way around).

When Dan isn’t thinking “church,” he’s enjoying time with his family; his beautiful wife Bekah, his daughter Chloe and his son Mark. They love to take advantage of all the great family activities in the NOVA/DC region.

The word “Connection” means “to come together / be involved with.” The Connection Card is used to help the Pender family stay connected. These are very important communication tools. You’ll find them in the bulletins each Sunday.

It’s important that you fill out your Connection Cards each week so that:

You can let us know you are here!
You can be welcomed!
You can be cared for if you’re in need
You can give or update your contact information
You can express interest in Pender’s ministries
You can send prayer requests to our prayer team
You can sign up for events, etc. etc. etc.
