Matthew 25:39 ‘When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
Pender is in mission to incarcerated Fairfax youth as they await their sentencing. We worship monthly, and once a year, we host a Christmas Party.
It is a particularly difficult environment in which to establish a party mood. But I am Maryann Weber, and I bring party. Is joining me something you could do and is on your heart?
Covid restrictions are lifted and we can bring as many as who want to come. Still masks, though.
Please join us to celebrate our wonderful Pender Man of the Year (Butch Kinerney) and Pender Women of the Year (Carrie Cahoon & Tammy Chipman)
Let’s celebrate together at a light brunch in their honor in the fellowship hall on February 26th after the 11 am service. Each of the award recipients will speak briefly about their time here at Pender. Come out and show your gratitude for all that these servants have done for our church and community!

Pender is excited to once again host Christmas Vacation Bible School!
We’d love to lighten your load this holiday season and give you the gift of time to prepare for Christmas. Your children will have a wonderful time learning about the true meaning of Christmas while moving through different rotations of Christmas Story, craft, music and recreation. The children will be served lunch, so please note any allergies your child has on the registration form.
Children ages 3 through 6th grade are welcome. Please note that all children attending MUST be potty-trained.
Please note: 2 adults per classroom are needed to help shepherd children at each rotation. Sign up to help by emailing Joni or on the Connection Card on Sunday.
The fee for this event is $10 per child or $20 per family, to cover the cost of food and craft materials. The fee is payable during registration.
Registration closes November 28. Don’t miss out!
Since it is Jesus’s Birthday we ask each participant to consider bringing a NEW toy / book as a gift for the “TOYS FOR TOTS” Campaign. The Marines will distribute all your donations to less fortunate children before Christmas. Please don’t bring any food or toy guns/weapons and also gift needs to be unwrapped.

Ruth Circle will have their annual Chicken Chili Lunch on November 6th.
We are now selling tickets between all three services on Sundays.
The tickets must be purchased by Oct. 30th so we will know the number of people. The price of the tickets: $8 per adult, $5 for children between 5 and l0 years. Children under 5 will be free. Family ticket for $30.
Consider pre-ordering a handmade cornucopia at the Chicken Chili Luncheon ticket area.
The price is $20 and the proceeds will benefit the Building Fund. They will be ready for pick-up at the luncheon on November 6. (They are sturdy enough to mail as a gift.)
Next meeting on Wednesday, June 29th, at noon for a potluck lunch.
Bring your favorite dish to share and join us as we discuss our summer and fall plans.
If you have ideas for speakers or outings, please bring those or email them to Cheryl.
We will have a short talk on how to retain and enhance the beneficial nutrients in the foods we eat. Attendees will come away with a handy dandy reference guide.
Questions? Email Cheryl.
