Later Today: Sing ‘n Celebrate ~ Celebrating Military

honoring-heroes-feature

November 8th at 5-6pm in the Fellowship Hall

We have been glad to hear that our new earlier hour of meeting is very popular! This upcoming SNC will give all of us the opportunity to express our appreciation for our members of the military.

We not only are inviting all Pender military members to attend this service, but we will also have the privilege of hearing two members of the military share about their experiences in serving our country.

In addition, Kay Creel of Pender’s Military Ministry will present some scarves and lap afghans knitted by our Prayer Shawl Ministry, which will be blessed by Pastor Kenny before being sent to deserving members of the military.

Today at Pender UMC ~ November 8, 2015

november-sermons-feature

 

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

Pastor Dan will be preaching at all 3 services on“More Than a Book Study” (John 15:9-17)

We just recently completed our church-wide study and message series called,“A Disciple’s Path,” in which we rediscovered our identity as followers of Jesus in the Wesleyan tradition. An important aspect of living out our faith together is what John Wesley called, “watching over one another in love.” How do we do that, especially today in the 21st century?

For more information about our upcoming sermons, click here.

Listen to 250 past sermons by Pastors Kenny Newsome, Dan Elmore and others in the Pender Podcast.

We’ll gather to share a meal — but save your potluck dishes for another time– lunch will be provided by us. Come check out our culinary skill!

Please RSVP to Becky by clicking on this link  by Nov. 12 and let her know if you have any food allergies so we can make accommodations.

Just bring yourselves and a $5 donation. Of course, friends are always welcome, so spread the word!

Immediately following, we’ll watch a Christian movie or other movie classic in the Fellowship Hall. If you have a suggested title, please send them to Becky to put on the list of possibilities. (We’ll have a vote later in November.)
