We want to hear what YOU have to say!

survey-feature

 

Our ministry leaders have been hard at work planning for the years ahead and structuring a long-term plan.

As announced  Sunday, we are now considering how the facility can better support the changing needs of our ministry efforts. We would like your help! We have requested that a company called Lemay, Erickson, Wilcox help with our data gathering and they have prepared a facilities use survey for Pender. In the weeks to come, they will consolidate the responses and we’ll share those results later this summer.

The survey will take you about 20 minutes to complete. Please answer as many questions as you are able. We need you part of this conversation!

Please complete by July 27.

Thank you for your time!

Sunday at Pender ~ WOW!

wow-main

Please join us on Sunday, July 20th, as we continue our Sermon Series: WOW!

WOW: The Mystery and Majesty of God – Exodus 20:18-21

We have made Jesus such a friend that we have lost the mystery and majesty of God. Somehow God is so much a “good buddy” that we have failed to see his awesomeness and acknowledge that God is so great he is beyond our comprehension.

Let’s look at what it means to have a God hidden in mystery but visible in majesty.

Prayer Shawl Ministry News

prayer-shawl-feature

 

prayer-shawl1The Prayer Shawl Ministry (formerly Casting God’s Love) has been busy!

Here is a picture of a recently completed lapghan, held by Mary Ann Hinkle and Betty Kelly.

Someone donated several of the squares to the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  Mary Ann Hinkle finished the rest of the squares and sewed them together.

It is very warm and will make a wonderful gift to someone needing comfort.

 


In addition, the picture below shows a triangle shawl created by Ruth Haynie and modeled by Sue Pierce.  This shawl has already been delivered and is currently providing comfort and support.
