Fellowship Hour Coordinator Needed

The Fellowship Hour Ministry is an important part of Pender’s welcoming for visitors, new members, and current members. It’s a time to meet and greet, get to know one another, and enjoy some coffee and snack.

The Love God and Others Cluster is searching for a coordinator to lead this vital ministry and associated volunteers. This includes lining up volunteers to maintain the Fellowship Hour room on Sunday mornings.

Perhaps you have a new idea for the format of this gathering time? Please contact Carrie Cahoon or Lisa Bryda for more information on how you can contribute to this valuable ministry so that it may continue.

Friday, July 10 ~ See What Our Children have Done!

09 Jul

At this year’s VBS, kids embarked on an icy expedition where they overcame obstacles with God’s awesome power. Kids were anchored in rock-solid Bible truths that will guide them through life’s challenges.

In addition, each day kids rotated through music, recreation, snack, craft, storytelling and even some “laboratory” time!

The VBS Final Program will be Friday, June 10 at 11 am.

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.

Friday afternoon traditionally concludes with musical performances which our campers perform for friends and family!

The Music Camp Final Program will be Friday, July 10 at 3:00 pm.
