Weather Update: Worship Online This Sunday (January 25)

Due to the weather, all in-person worship services and Sunday activities are canceled this Sunday, January 25, 2025, the Third Sunday after Epiphany.

We will record a worship service and share it online at 10:00 AM, and we invite you to join us from the comfort and safety of home via YouTube or our Facebook page.

Pastor Bruce Johnson will preach on “The Fabric of Our Unity,” offering a message of hope and connection as we worship together—apart, yet united.

If you are able, we invite you to continue supporting the ministry of Pender through online giving at penderumc.org or by mailing your offering. Most importantly, please take care of yourself and one another.

Stay safe, stay warm, and know that you are held in prayer.
We look forward to worshiping together online this Sunday.


“The Fabric of Our Unity”,
January 25, 2026 at 10 am
Online Only

Due to inclement weather, we invite you to join us online for worship this Sunday as Pastor Bruce Johnson preaches “The Fabric of Our Unity.”

In this timely message, we will reflect on how God calls us together—even when we are physically apart—and how faith, grace, and love weave us into one community in Christ. Scripture reminds us that unity is not about sameness, but about being bound together by God’s purpose and call.

Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 1:10–18
Matthew 4:12–23

Though weather may keep us at home, we remain connected through worship, prayer, and the Word. Join us online as we gather virtually to seek God’s guidance and celebrate the unity we share as the body of Christ.

Watch live online and participate from wherever you are—warm, safe, and together in spirit.
