Sunday’s Sermon, October 20
Sunday’s Sermon, October 20 – Our Walk – Grow In God
(1 Peter 3:14-18)
Being a disciple is a daily exercise. St. Paul says it means walking in faith. It’s not enough to just come to Jesus and be saved. Once saved, we must grow in that faith and learn to apply it in all of our daily situations. Let’s walk in faith.
“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” (1 Peter 3:15)

World Communion Sunday, October 6, 2013
World Communion Sunday offers us an opportunity to experience Holy Communion in the context of the global community of faith.
The first Sunday of October has become a time when Christians in every culture break bread and pour the cup to remember and affirm Christ as the Head of the Church.
On that day, we remember that we are part of the whole body of believers.
Christians celebrate the communion liturgy in as many ways as there are congregations. World Communion Sunday can be both a profound worship experience and a time for learning more about our wider community of faith.
Come, celebrate at Pender this Sunday at 8:15, 9:30 or 11:00 AM

New Sermon Series: Living As Disciples
Oct. 6 – Our Worship: Know God
As a disciple of Jesus our lives are centered in knowing who God is. That means we are involved in worship, both private and public. If you happen to miss worship does it make any difference to you? Do you find the time to be in God’s presence everyday? Let’s join together and get to Know God this week as we WORSHIP together.
Oct. 13 – Our Relationships – Love God and Others
To be a disciple is to know God and when we do we are loved. Having been loved we have to love God back and also God’s creation, Others. How is your love life? Being a disciple is being a lover. Loving in every way we can and to all we can. Let’s talk about our relationships this Sunday as we Love one another.
Oct. 20 – Our Walk – Grow In God
Being a disciple is a daily exercise. St. Paul says it means walking in faith. Its not enough to just come to Jesus and be saved. Once saved we must grow in that faith and learn to apply it in all of our daily situations. Let’s walk in faith.
Oct. 27 – Our Witness and Work – Share God and Serve God
Our witness is retelling what God has done for us. The world around us needs to hear some Good News. That Good News is your story in faith. Each of us has a story to tell. When was the last time we told it? Along with telling the story we must do the story. Christ’s work is now ours. We are called to work for the Kingdom and make Christ known in concrete ways. Let’s talk about how each of us can get involved.
