From RevKev, Associate Pastor at Pender…
Friends, As of this morning, we have the official release date for Faith In Pink! All proceeds from this project will go towards breast cancer comfort baskets/items for those seeking treatment at INOVA Fair Oaks.
It will be on October 19th, in the evening at Pender UMC. Tentative 6:30 until 8:00. We will have several testimonies and have asked for a special guest to talk, from INOVA Fair Oaks.
I hope that you will block out this date, as we play music from our latest CD and listen to others speak about their faith walk during their battle with the disease. The evening at Pender will be the initial release for the CD. As with our past CDs, 100% of ALL proceeds will go to INOVA Fair Oaks for their new Cancer Center and faith baskets to give to those in their time of need. All are invited. No charge, and dessert will be served.

September 8, 2013 Sermon: What’s Missing in CH__CH?
The scripture will be Mark 1:29-31. “As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.”

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 11: LOST Coin – Luke 15:8-10
A lost coin can mean a lot or not anything at all these days. Who stoops down to even retrieve a penny anymore? Yet the coin mentioned here has GREAT worth. What would you do to find it? Let’s see what happens when we lose something because of carelessness.
“And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00AM
Find Pender UMC here.

AUGUST 4 AT 7 PM
The attitude of trust and confidence that the Bible calls faith is not something we can obtain without help. Faith is a gift from God.
Join us Sunday as we focus on a constant process of renewing our trust in Jesus.
