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!

Sermon December 8: Joy Because of a Coming Lord –Psalm 98
Joy to the World the Lord is come. Do we really understand what it means to call Jesus Lord? In this season of baby Jesus and sentimentality do we realize the baby came to save but also to judge? Righteousness is the gift of Christmas and that goes beyond trees and presents and googly feelings. Righteousness is what we need and what we will live in during this ADVENT.
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp,with the harp and the sound of singing,with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn-shout for joy before the Lord, the King.” (Psalm 98:4-6)

- A HUGE thank you to everyone who made the boutique and flea market a huge success!Whether you did it by volunteering as a cashier, helping with set up, donating items, inviting others to shop or did some shopping yourself, because of your efforts, the boutique alone brought in over $8,000 that will go toward the UMW budget to support missions, both inside and outside the church as well as other Pender activities! In addition, the flea market brought in over $5,000 for the UMM budget and also as an outreach opportunity as we financially supported several men from West Virginia with jobs for the week. God is Great!
- Rev Kev and JC Reigns would like to thank ALL of the children and adults who volunteered to help make An Evening to Remember such an enjoyable and memorable event. 5 bus loads of residents from 5 different nursing homes in the area attended and they all had an amazing time singing, clapping, laughing and dancing.
- BIG THANK YOU from Carol Wilson to all who contributed their time and efforts to help make the Mother-Daughter Tea a success!! The UMW also wants to express our appreciation for the music by JC Reigns which added so much!
