We’d love to lighten your load this holiday season and give your children a night of fun!
Your children will have a wonderful time learning about the true meaning of Christmas while moving through different rotations of crafts, snack, music, recreation and bible lessons. They will enjoy a Christmas-themed movie and pizza and fruit for dinner.
Children ages 3 (potty trained) through Grade 6 can sign up online.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer please contact Jami Flemmons.

Christmas caroling accompaniments are available for free download from http://www.gbod.org. Save to disk or drive, take the “piano” with you.
From that link:
These piano accompaniments of familiar hymns are provided as free downloads as a joint project of The General Board of Discipleship and United Methodist Communications. They are intended to provide accompaniments for congregational singing for those churches which, for whatever reason, are unable to provide accompaniment for singing. You may find that you can also use them for choir, solo, or Sunday School use, Christmas caroling, or singing at any group setting. All accompaniments are provided without copyright. You may use them for any purpose without charge or having to seek permission.
In almost all cases, we have provided accompaniments from The United Methodist Hymnal (1989), with an introduction and multiple stanzas in the key provided in the hymnal. Occasionally an alternate harmonization is included. Watch for new hymns to be added in the future.
Also most of the Methodist Hymnal is available as sheet music (I guess that term is now defunct!) for the iPad. The app plays each hymn, as well.
Pender Connections Class
Our next Pender Connections Class for those interested in joining Pender will be held on December 2 from 9:30-noon in the chapel.
Hear about the history of our wonderful church and ministries. You will have the opportunity to make decisions about baptism and/or membership as you explore options to use your gifts and talents for God.
