Short-Term Mission Trip to Thailand ~ Is God Calling You?

We are planning a Short-Term Mission trip to Northwestern Thailand in support of Austin and Sinte House (missionaries supported by Pender’s Faith Promise giving) from October 16-31.

During the trip, we’ll have the opportunity to provide evangelism, outreach, adult and children’s programs to those living in the Thai-Burma border region, as well as refugees in the Noh Poh Refugee Camp.

For more information, please contact Mark Reese by clicking on this link or attend an information session this Sunday, July 7th after the 11 am service.

Sunday’s Sermon, July 7, 2013

05 Jul

Sunday, July 7 – Judging Others/Judging Ourselves –Romans 14:1-19

What does it mean to judge someone? Is it necessary? Is it loving?

Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa?

Let’s explore if the word judging should be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?

At Pender UMC, Sunday July 7: 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am. The sermon archives will be available early next week.

“Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.” (Romans 14:19)

Happy Fourth of July!

04 Jul

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain.

Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied by patriotic songs such as the national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner”, “God Bless America”, “America the Beautiful”, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”, “This Land Is Your Land”, “Stars and Stripes Forever”, and, regionally, “Yankee Doodle” in northeastern states and “Dixie” in southern states. Some of the lyrics recall images of the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812.

A bit of audio for your listening pleasure, as played by Vladimir Horowitz…
