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

vbs-everest-feature
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.

 

music-camp2015-header

 

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.

Today, Sunday, July 5 at Pender UMC

dan-594

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.
