National Day of Prayer, 2013

Today is National Day of Prayer, the theme for 2013 is Pray for America, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men.

Matthew 12:21 has been chosen as the Scripture for this year: “In His name the nations will put their hope.”

Pender Music Camp 2013

Pender Music Camp 2013

Imagine sixty kids singing and playing music to the Lord. What a glorious sound it would be, right? This is the ministry of Music Camp… to give children a chance to see how fun using music to praise the Lord can be! Like Vacation Bible School, which is held the same week in the mornings, this venue encourages the participation of children in a week-long camp format.

Music Ministry staff and volunteers work together each year to organize and orchestrate a summer music camp. It’s an opportunity for students and parents alike to experience the joy of praising God through music. Musical experience is not necessary to participate!

At Pender’s Music Camp, rising second through sixth graders sing in choir, play Orff instruments, ring handbells, experiment with rhythm in a percussion class, learn to read music, and make crafts. Older youth are always welcome to help out as teaching assistants.

Friday afternoon traditionally concludes with a musical performance, complete with costumes and choreography, which our campers perform for friends and family!

From Monday, July 8 at 12:30pm to Friday, July 12, 2013 at 3:30pm

Sermon Series ~ We Have a Story to Tell

April 21st Sermon ~ “Looking for Witnesses”

God has left his ministry in the hands of those of us who have experienced Jesus. We are witnesses. A story to tell because we’ve experienced it. How are you doing as witnesses? God needs us!

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
