Sermon Series ~ Campmeeting – LOST

We return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be a time to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear the Gospel preached that will help those who are lost and wandering in our community.

Sermon on August 25: The LOST Brother – Luke 15:25-32

We normally look at the lost as being those outside the church. But what about the lost brothers. Those within our fellowship and yet still are lost. How do we minister to them and what good news do we have for them? Let’s see this Sunday.

“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.” (Luke 15:31)

Also on Sunday:

August 25: Backpack Blessing, all 3 services
August 25: Sunday School continues for the Summer Session. Read the brochure
August 25: Blood Pressure Checks 9:15-9:45 and 12:00-12:30
August 25: Juvenile Detention Center. More information
August 25: Book Lovers Club, 7:00PM
August 25: Turning Point Youth Group, 7:00PM

Pender UMW Fall Retreat 2013

Pender UMW Fall Retreat 2013
“Making A Difference”

Please join us on Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 9:00 to 3:00 for the UMW Fall Women’s Retreat. All women are welcome, so please invite your friends and family!

Our theme this year will be “Making A Difference,” and we will focus on how we can make a difference in the lives of others near and far. We will be hearing from guest speakers from within Pender and from the local community about their experiences and about ministry opportunities. We will spend time during the afternoon working onsite in small groups on mission projects. Additionally, we will have several breakout discussions and fellowship activities focused on how the UMW can make a difference in our community.

Doors will open at 9:00 am for registration and a light breakfast. The program will start at 9:30 and will last until approximately 3:00. The registration fee is $10 per person to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch, payable on the morning of the event.

Please register online or at the sign up table in the narthex. Childcare is available for the retreat if we are notified of the need in advance.

We look forward to seeing you in September! Please contact Ann Hines if you have questions.

Sermon on August 18: LOST Son – Luke 15:11-24

This parable is second only to the Good Samaritan in familiarity. It is because at one time or another we have all been there. People get lost as well. Most of the time it is our own choice. What happens when we are lost? How do we get home? Let’s see this Sunday.

“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” Luke 15:24
