Help feed the youth and adults from Pender who will be working in Appalachia later this month. Cash donations may be given and designated “Philippi Food.” A list of groceries needed by the mission team is at the Sign Up Center in the Narthex.
Please return donations of nonperishable food (marked “For Philippi”) to the Pender kitchen by Tuesday, July 22nd. Questions? Contact Virginia Patch by clicking here.
The Pender team is in the final planning for the Poland Short-Term Mission Trip. The camp theme is “Victorious Life and the Witness.”
Funds are still needed to sponsor Polish Youth. $220 covers one youth for the entire camp. $110 provides a half scholarship. In sports, victory is today but tomorrow is another event. In Christ, victory is Eternal.
Ever wondered what a short term missions trip would be like?
Here’s a short video on one of Pender’s STMTs to Brazil in 2013.

The sermon for Sunday, June 8th is “Pentecost for All” (Acts 2:1-13)
Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given so that we will be prepared for the work of service and the body of Christ will be built up. Each of us has gifts. What are your gifts? How are you using them? On this celebration of Pentecost and confirming our teenagers into faith in Christ, let’s celebrate the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives.
