Vacation Bible School (VBS) 2019 Registration is OPEN

06 Jul

 

Pender Vacation Bible School (VBS) 2019

Athens: Paul’s Dangerous Journey to Share the Truth

 

2019 VBS THEME

Imagine leaving a life of privilege and power to face angry mobs, painful imprisonment, and chain-breaking earthquakes—all to spread the life-changing truth of God’s love. Learn the jaw-dropping story of the Apostle Paul…straight from Paul himself! In an ancient “anything goes” culture, Paul will inspire kids to share the truth of God’s immeasurable love in the 2019 Holy Land Adventure Vacation Bible School.

 

NEW SCHEDULE

This year, we’re mixing it up and trying a new type of VBS schedule – Sunday afternoons from 3:00 – 5:30 p.m., with a family dinner to follow each week.  Your child will experience four (4) rotations each Sunday, including Craft, Music, Recreation, and Story Telling/Bible Lesson along with an Opening Rally Kick Off each week. VBS will be held on these four consecutive Sundays:

 

  • July 28, 2019
  • August 4, 2019
  • August 11, 2019
  • August 18, 2019

 

VBS will be open to Pre-K (potty-trained ages 3 & 4), and children who will be rising Kindergarten to 6thGrades in the 2019-2020 school year.

Cost:
VBS is $30 per child (third child’s registration is FREE).

Pender UMC does offer scholarships to families in need, please contact Adrienne Teague (teaguiea7@yahoo.com) for more information.

Deadline to register is July 21 (or until classes are full).

For ages rising 2nd grade – rising 6th grade.  Registration is open now.

Today at Pender UMC ~ January 1, 2017

08 Jan

bless_this_home_series-feature

 

Looking to start 2017 off on the right track with peace, happiness and contentment?

We want our family to enjoy peace, happiness, and contentment, but so often we stumble through our most important relationships. In “Bless This Home,” discover four family-altering qualities: purity, peace, righteousness, and persecution.

Join us for a four-part message series, Bless this Home, today January 8, 2017 at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am Worship Services

This Sunday’s sermon is entitled “Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness.”

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)

Pender’s Vision Statement: 

By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world.

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