Sunday at Pender

Series: Who Am I?

The question that all of us struggle with. Are we defined by what we do? The roles we play? The people we associate with? Who am I?

January 5 – Why We’re Here – John 1:1-18
Why are we here? What is our purpose? Jesus said, “We are light.” In the midst of the darkness we are light for the world. Look around you. It is easy to see the darkness. How can we make a difference?

Listen to past sermons in the Pender Podcast.

The First Sunday of Advent ~ December 1

01 Dec

Sunday, December 1, is the First Sunday in Advent.

The sermon for December 1 – Sing Out The Joy – Isaiah 42:10-17

Advent is a time to take stock of the fact that Joy comes to the world because the Lord has come. Isaiah foretold that when the Messiah came He would give us JOY in the midst of the harshness of life. I wonder can we find the joy in the midst of the events in our economy, in a marriage gone sour, in a nation that is conflicted? Let’s discover the joy the Lord will bring.

The Advent Wreath

The first Candle is lit on the first Sunday of Advent, shortly after November 30. It is called the Prophecy Candle and reminds us that Jesus’ coming was prophesied hundreds of years before He was born. The candle’s purple color represents Christ’s royalty as the King of Kings.

Suggested Bible Reading: Luke 1:26-38

Chuck Knows Church — ADVENT WREATH. Four candles in a circle with a big one in the middle? Yep, take a moment and learn the basics about the advent wreath. And why is the pink candle…pink?

Don’t Forget to Change Your Clocks Tonight!

02 Nov

Daylight Saving Time 2013 ends for the year so the clock change for the fall takes place Sunday morning at 2 a.m. on Nov. 3. Daylight Saving Time 2013 seems overdue, but it is the same time each year. The clock changes on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March each year.

And, time to sing again…
