Sermon on September 1st ~ The Overdue Invitation
How to share our faith with others.
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,”Son, your sins are forgiven.” (Mark 2:5)
| 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)

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

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
