Today at Pender UMC ~ November 12, 2017

Please join us today at our 8:15, 9:30 or 11:00 am worship services. We will bring to a conclusion the three week series on the Three Simple Rules of our founder John Wesley. These are rules which call forth the best in each of us, and challenge us to be Jesus’ disciples every day. The key to our success is in the third rule: Stay in Love with God. (Mark 12:28-34)

We also will begin to receive our Pledge Cards for your financial stewardship commitments.

Also today:

The United Methodist Women will host a Fair Trade Market after the 11am service (during the Chicken-Chili lunch) in the fellowship room and fellowship hall. The vendors will sell fair trade goods, including: food, clothing, accessories, household goods, decorations, etc. Please come peruse the merchandise and know that anything you purchase has helped to better the life of someone in a less fortunate situation than ours.

Fair trade means workers in developing countries are paid a living wage. Some of the proceeds will go to the Pender UMW for our mission work and UMCOR. Thanks for your support and happy shopping!

Today, November 6, 2016 at Pender UMC

06 Nov

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.

Tomorrow is the LAST Day to Get Chicken Chili Tickets

29 Oct

Ruth Circle will have their annual Chicken Chili Lunch on November 6th.

We are now selling tickets between all three services on Sundays.

The tickets must be purchased by Oct. 30th so we will know the number of people. The price of the tickets: $8 per adult, $5 for children between 5 and l0 years. Children under 5 will be free. Family ticket for $30.

Consider pre-ordering a handmade cornucopia at the Chicken Chili Luncheon ticket area.

The price is $20 and the proceeds will benefit the Building Fund. They will be ready for pick-up at the luncheon on November 6. (They are sturdy enough to mail as a gift.)
