August 25th at all 3 Services (8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 am)
September 1st at 9:30 am Service
Please join us for worship on this special Sunday. Children are encouraged to bring their school backpacks to be blessed during the services.
A special token will be given to each child to take with them to school every day to remind them that they are blessed.
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!
We return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be a time to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear the Gospel preached that will help those who are lost and wandering in our community.
Sermon on August 11: LOST Coin – Luke 15:8-10
A lost coin can mean a lot or not anything at all these days. Who stoops down to even retrieve a penny anymore? Yet the coin mentioned here has GREAT worth. What would you do to find it? Let’s see what happens when we lose something because of carelessness.
“And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00AM
Pender is partnering with Western Fairfax Christian Ministries to provide backpacks for students in need at Rocky Run Middle School.

Please drop off the backpacks at Pender by Sunday, August 11th in the donation box next to the Church Office.

Sermon on Sunday, August 4th: LOST Sheep – Luke 15:1-7
The Lord is my Good Shepherd (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the most famous in stained glass. But the story is about real issues and real difficulties in life. All of us feel LOST at some point. When we simply wander off and get lost it is all the worse.
Let’s see if the lost can be found this Sunday.
“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7)
