Help us decorate the Pender ReGift Thrift Store for Christmas on Sunday, November 6th, at 1 pm. Come help after the Chicken Chili lunch and enjoy a time of fellowship. |
Today, November 6, 2016 at Pender UMC
Please join us this Sunday, November 6, at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am Worship Services.
Pastor Dan will be preaching at all three services on“The Perfect Candidate” (1 John 4:16b-19).
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.We love because he first loved us.”
Pender’s Vision Statement:
By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world.
Listen to past sermons by Pastors Kenny Newsome, Dan Elmore and others in the Pender Podcast.
