Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, September 13th, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services, as we kick-off our church-wide study, “A Disciple’s Path.”
Both Pastor Kenny & Pastor Dan will begin our new sermon series based on our church-wide study and will be preaching on “Defined by Grace” (Luke 10:25-28)
What is a disciple? As we walk a disciple’s path, it is not a path that wanders aimlessly through the woods. There is a destination we’re trying to reach. What is it? Join us and find out.

Listen to 237 past sermons by Pastors Kenny Newsome, Dan Elmore and others in the Pender Podcast.

Youth in Mission
You won’t want to miss hearing from two of our Pender youth who have already discovered the joy of serving — Kayla Moxley in Philippi and Katelyn Barone in Peru for the first time. When God sends us to serve, God also sends us blessings. Since we are in the hiring process for our new band, they won’t be with us for this SNC. However, Peter and Rachel Kotiah have graciously agreed to provide our praise music for this time of worship.

Pender’s teens need you! We are looking for two adults to assist in a new 11:00 am Sunday school class for 7th through 12th graders. The class will be led by teens, for teens, but Pender needs two adults to be present to assist the teen leaders.
Would you be willing to make a difference and be a positive influence for Pender’s youth? If so, please contact the Church Office directly, or Angie Green by clicking here.

Pastor Dan Elmore is back with us. Dan became our Associate Pastor, again, in 2015 after serving here previously 2010-2012.
During the time in between, he started a church from scratch, and then helped another existing congregation reach out to new people, especially those who don’t “do church.” He brings those same goals to Pender.
He is passionate about leading people to discover more about God. In doing so, we always discover more about ourselves (funny how it never works the other way around).
When Dan isn’t thinking “church,” he’s enjoying time with his family; his beautiful wife Bekah, his daughter Chloe and his son Mark. They love to take advantage of all the great family activities in the NOVA/DC region.
