Sing ‘n Celebrate This Evening – at Pender UMC

sing-celebrate-text-header

 

Sing ‘n Celebrate is Pender Church’s informal evening worship service that has a focus on contemporary Christian music and original dramas and testimonies. Dress is casual and the atmosphere offers a wonderful means to start the week with God in mind. 

In addition to music and testimonies, prayer is offered. Communion is served periodically.

Sing ‘n Celebrate ~ May 3  at 7:00 PM

Featuring Family Life/Mothers

You won’t want to miss our May SNC – especially if you are part of a busy family. When we think of spirituality, we often picture inner peace and tranquility. But families are anything but tranquil.

According to Bonnie Miller-McLemore, “walking according to the pace of children can deepen faith.Children form adults as much as the reverse, and they have much to teach adults about the life of faith.

Keep in mind the fact that this service will speak to grandparents as much as it does to parents!! We welcome children at our services, since they bring a special joy to this time of worship.

JC Reigns leads worship with both modern Christian songs and a selection of old church hymns – the aim is to meet the needs of all who attend. JC Reigns has been together for 14 years and over the course of that time, has recorded five Christian CDs and used all the proceeds to benefit world wide and local charities. 

Whether you are a new Christian, or have been following Christ for years, this is just a wonderful way to gather in fellowship, sing songs to God and listen to your brothers and sisters as they share their faith. We invite you to come and bring a friend, meet other Pender People and leave with a song on your heart and the Son in your eyes.

 

A Way to Serve the Lord…

Carol Wilson needs members of the laity to train this year to serve as the Lay Director or a Co-Lay Director for our Sing ‘n Celebrate Service. If interested in finding out more information, please contact Carol by clicking here.

The fact that forgiveness does not depend on our actions or attitudes will be made clear by our 3 storytellers: Bob Baumgartner, Mark Atwood and Ken Dieffenderfer.

Rev Kev will share in our short message. As a discovery God has placed at our disposal, forgiveness is worth making because none of us is in a position to live without it!

Sing "N Celebrate

SING ‘N CELEBRATE ~ JANUARY 12 AT 7:30 PM: A one-time change of date and time due to a need to coordinate with FACETS and our guests’ preparation for the evening.  Please plan to attend and welcome our guests to our church.

Also, we need to extend a big Pender Welcome to our SNC’s new Worship Leader, Diane Wilhite, and our new praise band, JC Reigns!

The theme for this evening of worship will be forgiveness with some reminders of how we can forgive the way our Father forgives us.

The fact that forgiveness does not depend on our actions or attitudes will be made clear by our three storytellers: Bob Baumgartner, Mark Atwood and Ken Dieffenderfer.

Rev Kev will share in our short message. As a discovery God has placed at our disposal, forgiveness is worth making because none of us is in a position to live without it!!
