We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests.
It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
New Sermon Series ~ Campmeeting – LOST
Aug. 4: LOST Sheep – Luke 15:1-7
The parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the most famous in stained glass. But the story is about real issues and real difficulties in life. All of us feel LOST at some point. When we simply wander off and get lost it is all the worse. Let’s see if the lost can be found this Sunday.
Aug. 11: LOST Coin – Luke 15:8-10
A lost coin can mean a lot or not anything at all these days. Who stoops down to even retrieve a penny anymore? Yet the coin mentioned here has GREAT worth. What would you do to find it? Let’s see what happens when we lose something because of carelessness.
Aug. 18: LOST SON – Luke 15:11-24
This parable is second only to the Good Samaritan in familiarity. It is because at one time or another we have all been here. People get lost as well. Most of the time it is our own choice. What happens when we are lost? How do we get home? Let’s see this Sunday.
Aug. 25: LOST Brother – Luke 15:25-32
We normally look at the lost as being those outside the church. But what about the lost brothers. Those within our fellowship and yet still are lost. How do we minister to them and what good news do we have for them? Let’s see this Sunday.
At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00AM
Today’s Bible Verse
We have wonderful news to share – the Pender UMC Visitation Ministry (aka Smiles on Wheels) is up and running! It is a blessing to have their services and we are looking to you, our church community, to let us know of folks who might enjoy a visit from our volunteers. The group of women have been trained by Chris Hanak, and have been busy since the fall bringing smiles and Christ to those who are not able to come to church on a regular basis.
Please contact Joyce Munt in our Church Office with any names or questions you might have concerning visitation and fellowship by this group.
Enjoy a time of fellowship, dinner and the ever-laughable races.
Feb. 12th at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall
