You are invited to join our class when we begin our new study on June 28.
We will study the book entitled “The Holy Spirit – An Introduction” by John Bevere. This curriculum, which provides us with DVD’s and CD’s, will teach us about the Holy Spirit’s personality and power – and how you can get to know Him better.
We meet in Classrooms 218-220 during the 9:30 Sunday School Hour, and we would love to welcome new members!

Our Summer Sunday School session begins on June 28.
Teachers are needed to teach our children during the summer session to give our current Sunday School teachers a much needed break.

Sermon Series: STORIES
June 7 – The Children’s Musical, The Sailor’s Bible, will be presented by the Asbury and Wesley Choirs of Pender UMC.
This new children’s musical includes three Bible stories: Noah and the Great Flood, Jonah and the Great Fish, and Paul’s Shipwreck. Each story features the ocean as a symbol for the chaos of life and shows how only the power of God is greater than the natural forces of wind and wave.
It’s all done with a childlike playfulness full of humor and songs rich with catchy melodies.
Listen to past sermons in the Pender Podcast.
