Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

Beginning February 14th

The God We Can Know, by Rob Fuquay, is a 7-week study designed to explore the “I Am” sayings of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. This series will help you find and form an answer to an essential question in our Christian faith, “Who do YOU say I am?” One by one, Jesus’ statements grab our imagination, reveal more about His identity and purpose, and connect us to the God of Moses, who spoke the first “I Am.” Experience Jesus in insightful ways that point us to a God who wants to be known.

Please join one of our following classes:

  • Senior High Sunday School Class at 9:30am in the Youth Room, led by Mark Atwood, beginning Feb. 14th
  • Monday College-Age Bible Study at 7:30pm, led by Thomas Parker & other Facilitators, beginning Feb. 15th
  • Tuesday Youth Bible Study at 7:30pm, led by Carrie Cahoon & Beth Petty, beginning Feb. 16th
  • Wednesday Adult Study at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall, led by Sean Niehoff, beginning Feb. 17th
  • Thursday Adult Study at 6pmin the Fellowship Hall following our Lenten Dinner, led by Pastor Dan, beginning Feb. 18th
  • Thursday Uncommon Men’s Group at 7pm in Room 218/220, led by Ken Dieffenderfer, beginning Feb. 18th

mulch-test-feature

This year the Pender Men are teaming with our sponsored Boy Scout troop #1530 and combining our mulch sales so that we can help each other’s programs and deliver your mulch to your driveway on Saturday March 5th.

Pender Men sponsors short term mission trips for our parishioners to places like Peru, Thailand, Poland, Paraguay, and Philippi, WV, as well as supporting local missions and vital Pender activities like the recent Men’s Retreat held this past November.

Please visit http://goo.gl/PJWfMN to securely order your mulch, or contact Dave Cacner at dcacner@verizon.net.

Please also consider volunteering to assist in delivering mulch with us on the 5th.

Thanks so much!
