Sunday at Pender UMC ~ November 22, 2015
This Sunday, Nov. 22nd, is Church Conference Sunday and we will have only ONE Worship Service at 10:00 am. Join us for a yummy lunch after the service!
We will celebrate our ministries and elect our officers for the coming year. YOU need to be there because we will present for the church’s approval the new building and renovation program. EVERY member of Pender needs to be present so that you may have a vote about this important endeavor in the life of our church.
