Mulch Madness 2016

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!

It’s Christmas Cookie Time Again!

The UMW needs bakers to make cookies for our cookie tray sale. Our goal is to make as many trays as possible, so if you could bake 100 of one kind of cookie that would be great!

Bring the cookies to the church no later than 9 am on Dec. 19, stay and join us for a Christmas Brunch and to help assemble trays. 

Also the UMW is taking pre-orders to purchase Christmas Cookie trays.The trays contain three dozen cookies and the cost is $12 per tray. They will be ready for pick up on Sunday, Dec. 20th from 8am to 12:30pm in Room 206.

All proceeds support UMW missions. Sign-up sheets for both baking and purchasing are located at the Sign-Up Center in the Church lobby.
