March 16, Delivering 8am-5pm With the relatively warm winter we’ve had, Spring is truly just around the corner! Time to order mulch from your Pender United Methodist Men. This is our annual fund raiser to enabling the Pender Men to sponsor short-term mission trips for men from Pender to minister in places like Peru, Thailand, Poland, Paraguay, and Philippi, WV. Funds raised also support local missions including the Voices of Youth, FACETS, Western Fairfax Christian Ministries, and other vital Pender activities. This year we will be delivering mulch on Saturday March 16th. Due to an increase in supplier costs, we have had to raise mulch prices this year for the first time in 5 years. Each 3 cu ft bag of traditional shredded hardwood mulch will cost $4.75 delivered to your driveway. Again this year we will also be offering Shredded Pine, and Pine Mini-Nuggets at the reasonable price of $5.25 per 3 cu ft bag. Please place your 2013 order as soon as possible! Order here. Volunteers are needed for delivery on Saturday and during the week if available. Also need volunteers with pickup trucks. Please contact Dave Cacner or register to help inside the Narthex or online with your order. Interested in determining the amount of mulch you need? Check out these links:

HOV lanes save time! Amazing how the highway department picked up on the necessity of community. Let’s see what a difference community makes.
The Cross
Why the cross rather than the fish for the accepted Christian symbol? Do you know? And why are there two types of crosses. . .one in catholic churches and another in protestant churches?
