New Sermon Series ~ Genuine Love

June 9 – Living Sacrifices – Romans 12:1-2

Living and Sacrifice don’t go together. However, that is exactly what it takes to live the Good News of Jesus in our lives. Let’s learn how we can die to live and what we can do when we are yielded to Christ

June 16 – Genuine Love – Romans 12:9-21

Graduate Sunday

June 23 Annual Conference Sunday

Two of our Lay persons will be sharing the love of Christ with us. Support them in their ministry with us.

June 30 – The Debt of Love – Romans 13:8-10

There is only one debt for the follower of Christ. It is the debt of love we owe. Giving our love away isn’t a suggestion but a debt to be paid. Let’s see how we are doing on the payment of love.

July 7 – Judging Others/Judging Ourselves – Romans 14:1-19

What does it mean to judge someone? Is it necessary? Is it loving? Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa? Let’s explore if the word Judging sould be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?

Hello!

Pender Music Camp 2013

01 May

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

Sign up here starting May 1, 2013
