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!
