  • 10/14/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Willing to Risk It All
    What do you find joy in doing? In what things do you excel? These are the things defined as our God-given talents - the skills God has blessed us with as we go about our lives in the world. Once we have identified those talents, the question becomes WHY has God given us these talents? For ourselves and our own pleasure....or for something more? The 'som […]
  • 10/7/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Anyone Have the Time?
    Time – a vanishing commodity – we never seem to have enough of it – and we more often than not have little to show for the time we have. Our priorities are constantly shifting, and we always seem to be playing catch up – trying to live into our plans – trying to make the best of our time……and suddenly, it’s gone – vanished. What if we could press a pause but […]
  • 9/30/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Go!
    God has called us to so many things - so many opportunities to serve - so many opportunities to share the truth of Christ with all others - and we want to do just that - it's exciting - show us how, Lord! But the reaction from others is often - we're just people....these opportunities are too much for us to tackle! Such different responses to Chris […]
  • 9/23/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Work It
    We do so many things for God’s glory - and serving God gives us such joy in so many ways - but what if God calls us into new opportunities in new places - are we flexible enough to go? Are we ready to serve whenever and wherever? The scripture was James 2:14-26 A video of this sermon from the Common Ground service is available on PenderUMC.org The scripture […]
  • 9/2/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Flexible and Ready
    When you think of the mission of the church, what is the first thing you think of? Which people, which place? Our first mission field may surprise you – it is closer than you might think! The amazing thing is, that if we are in mission to this particular group, the impact we can make for God in the world is overwhelming! It takes all of us lovingly serving t […]
  • 9/9/18, Elizabeth Snader ~ Courageous Faith
    Elizabeth Snader, Director of Children and Youth Ministries preached on Luke 8:42b-50. We will be looking at the story of the woman who touched Jesus’ robe and how her courageous faith can be an inspiration to us as we are living lives of faith. Do we have times in our lives when we must step out in faith even if it is uncomfortable or different? How can we […]
  • 9/2/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ At the Threshold
    When you think of the mission of the church, what is the first thing you think of? Which people, which place? Our first mission field may surprise you – it is closer than you might think! The amazing thing is, that if we are in mission to this particular group, the impact we can make for God in the world is overwhelming! It takes all of us lovingly serving t […]
  • 8/26/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Our First Mission Field
    When you think of the mission of the church, what is the first thing you think of? Which people, which place? Our first mission field may surprise you – it is closer than you might think! The amazing thing is, that if we are in mission to this particular group, the impact we can make for God in the world is overwhelming! It takes all of us lovingly serving t […]
  • 8/19/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Then and Now
    By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world. This is our vision statement at Pender – but where do we each fit in? How can God use us as part of this vision – what is our mission as individuals and as the Body called for God’s purpose in the sharing of our gifts for the transformation of the world….. […]
  • 8/12/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ The Call of Joy
    Ever feel that you have been trying so hard to live a life of blessing in the midst of hardship and sadness – so hard to answer God’s call on your life no matter what obstacles arise and things – but you just never seem to get a break? Hard not to check out isn’t it? Hard not to go back to the way things used to be– life seemed so easy then (even when we kno […]
