Sing ‘n Celebrate Celebration of Children at October 6 at 6:30 (Note time change)
We read in Matthew 7:12 – “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you”, which is commonly known as the Golden Rule.
This statement, as Jesus formulated it, is the foundation of active goodness and mercy — the kind of love God shows to us every day.
We have a special opportunity next Sunday to be witness to our children and grandchildren demonstrating in words and acting this type of love.
From RevKev, Associate Pastor at Pender…
Friends, As of this morning, we have the official release date for Faith In Pink! All proceeds from this project will go towards breast cancer comfort baskets/items for those seeking treatment at INOVA Fair Oaks.
It will be on October 19th, in the evening at Pender UMC. Tentative 6:30 until 8:00. We will have several testimonies and have asked for a special guest to talk, from INOVA Fair Oaks.
I hope that you will block out this date, as we play music from our latest CD and listen to others speak about their faith walk during their battle with the disease. The evening at Pender will be the initial release for the CD. As with our past CDs, 100% of ALL proceeds will go to INOVA Fair Oaks for their new Cancer Center and faith baskets to give to those in their time of need. All are invited. No charge, and dessert will be served.
(NOTE: The music is the anthem that the choir sang for Back to Church Sunday, but the recording was made by another choir)
We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests. It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
September 8, 2013 Sermon: What’s Missing in CH__CH?
The scripture will be Mark 1:29-31. “As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.”

Something for everyone!
Donations can be left in the blue grocery cart in the coat rack section.
We know that salvation is a process that is done, that’s secure, that no one can take away from us. The psalmist David tells us that those who have been redeemed will say so! If we’re not saying so, perhaps we’ve forgotten what it is like to be redeemed.
Hopefully, you have made plans to join us to hear Kay Creel and Mike Williams share how they have viewed being redeemed.
