The Pumpkins are Coming!

On October 6th at 4pm the pumpkin truck will arrive at Pender! We need all the help we can get to get the pumpkins off the truck and into our patch!

After that, we need volunteers to sit in the patch from 11am-7pm daily (except Sunday). Please consider taking a shift or many! Your time supports the Pender Turning Point Youth, the Navajo Indians in Arizona who grew our pumpkins and of course Tim.

Also…teenagers, if you need service hours, this counts!!

Thank you and see you in the Patch!

Pender ROCKED the BLOCK!

22 Sep

Thank you to all of our Pender people who brought their smiles and warm, welcoming spirits to our Pender Rocks the Block last Friday. We estimated that over 500 people were in attendance! We were introduced to neighbors, friends, co-workers, preschool parents, firefighters and more!

Thank you to each and every one of you who participated in small ways and in big ways and everything in between! We were so blessed by the amount of Pender people who:

Helped plan the event from start to finish
Prayed for us, the event and the weather
Helped with set up and take down of the event
Greeted our neighbors, families and friends with Christ’s love and joy
Assisted in our Kid Zone, Teen Zone, Food Zone, and Adult Zone
Participated in or entertained us at our Pender’s Got Talent Show
Helped with traffic control and hospitality
and more…

What a united and fun time for our entire church and surrounding neighborhood! Let’s keep this fire burning and continue to invite others to our church and our other upcoming events!

The workout itself combines cardio, strength training, and a unique drumming technique for fun-filled full body workout.

It’s fellowship and fun with a little sweat mixed in!
