Three Years Old!!!
Volunteer Appreciation Party
Dear Reader,
Well, here we are… three years later and still kicking. We have finally turned the corner of success, primarily through volunteers, and partners, like You! On Sunday, at 12:30pm, we gather once again to remember our journey. Because we have grown, this party will be in the Fellowship Hall of Pender United Methodist Church.
A time for celebration and fellowship, we have will have
- stories,
- games, and
- light refreshments.
FAQ…
Do I have to dressup? I’m hosting and I’m not.
Do I have to bring something? Not unless you need to.
Can I bring a neighbor, a friend, or my family? Of course.
Does that include children? Of course.
One of my jobs is to be excited about our progress. Whooops!
I am!
Sincerely,
Maryann Weber

The sermon for Sunday, June 8th is “Pentecost for All” (Acts 2:1-13)
Gifts of the Holy Spirit are given so that we will be prepared for the work of service and the body of Christ will be built up. Each of us has gifts. What are your gifts? How are you using them? On this celebration of Pentecost and confirming our teenagers into faith in Christ, let’s celebrate the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives.
