We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests. It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
September 8, 2013 Sermon: What’s Missing in CH__CH?
The scripture will be Mark 1:29-31. “As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.”

Pender UMW Fall Retreat 2013
“Making A Difference”
Please join us on Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 9:00 to 3:00 for the UMW Fall Women’s Retreat. All women are welcome, so please invite your friends and family!
Our theme this year will be “Making A Difference,” and we will focus on how we can make a difference in the lives of others near and far. We will be hearing from guest speakers from within Pender and from the local community about their experiences and about ministry opportunities. We will spend time during the afternoon working onsite in small groups on mission projects. Additionally, we will have several breakout discussions and fellowship activities focused on how the UMW can make a difference in our community.
Doors will open at 9:00 am for registration and a light breakfast. The program will start at 9:30 and will last until approximately 3:00. The registration fee is $10 per person to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch, payable on the morning of the event.
Please register online or at the sign up table in the narthex. Childcare is available for the retreat if we are notified of the need in advance.
We look forward to seeing you in September! Please contact Ann Hines if you have questions.
