CELEBRATION OF CHILDREN
SING ‘N CELEBRATE SERVICE
THIS COMING SUNDAY, OCT. 6 AT 6:30 PM
We hope you are planning to join us for this special time of casual worship when children will show us how they are learning to believe the things that Jesus taught and to do the things that Jesus did.
In keeping with this theme, our children will be filling a bin with unwrapped, NEW toys and books for less fortunate children.
Our collection of toys and books will continue until the time when all that we have collected needs to go to the Marines for their Toys For Tots distribution before Christmas.
Children of the World in Concert
FOREST, Va. – As part of its 2013-2014 U.S. tour, World Help is proud to present Children of the World International Children’s Choir. The choir, comprised of orphaned and disadvantaged children from several different countries, will be performing at Pender UMC on October 16 at 7:30.
The choir represents a rich and culturally diverse set of backgrounds and experiences, each with an urgent story to tell. This year’s Rescue Tour calls attention to the staggering impact that poverty, malnutrition, and dirty water have on millions of children around the world.
Through the powerful medium of song, dance, spoken word, and creative media, Children of the World provides a compelling message of hope and opportunity, leaving an unforgettable impression with audiences across the country.
The children have performed in such venues as Focus on the Family, Brooklyn Tabernacle, and Disney World.
Sing ‘n Celebrate Celebration of Children at October 6 at 6:30 (Note time change)
We read in Matthew 7:12 – “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you”, which is commonly known as the Golden Rule.
This statement, as Jesus formulated it, is the foundation of active goodness and mercy — the kind of love God shows to us every day.
We have a special opportunity next Sunday to be witness to our children and grandchildren demonstrating in words and acting this type of love.
