Sing ‘N Celebrate, Celebrating Mission

peru-map

March 6, 5-6pm in the Fellowship Hall

When attending a church with a love for mission, it is always a joy when we celebrate the experiences of our Pender short-term missionaries. We hope you are planning to come out to hear Armando Mieles and Ivelisse Caceres share about their time in Peru.

Always remember that, even if you can’t go to the mission field physically, you can always go through prayer or financial support. And the reward will be the same!!

Sing ‘n Celebrate is Pender Church’s informal evening worship service that has a focus on contemporary Christian music and original dramas and testimonies. Dress is casual and the atmosphere offers a wonderful means to start the week with God in mind.
