- A HUGE thank you to everyone who made the boutique and flea market a huge success!Whether you did it by volunteering as a cashier, helping with set up, donating items, inviting others to shop or did some shopping yourself, because of your efforts, the boutique alone brought in over $8,000 that will go toward the UMW budget to support missions, both inside and outside the church as well as other Pender activities! In addition, the flea market brought in over $5,000 for the UMM budget and also as an outreach opportunity as we financially supported several men from West Virginia with jobs for the week. God is Great!
- Rev Kev and JC Reigns would like to thank ALL of the children and adults who volunteered to help make An Evening to Remember such an enjoyable and memorable event. 5 bus loads of residents from 5 different nursing homes in the area attended and they all had an amazing time singing, clapping, laughing and dancing.
- BIG THANK YOU from Carol Wilson to all who contributed their time and efforts to help make the Mother-Daughter Tea a success!! The UMW also wants to express our appreciation for the music by JC Reigns which added so much!

- After shopping at the Flea Market and Boutique Saturday, please stay and help us put everything away. Our volunteers will greatly appreciate it, and remember…many hands make light work! Cleanup begins at noon on Saturday.
- Our Fellowship Time Committee is looking for more volunteers so this ministry can continue to serve our Pender Church family and visitors. If you are a member of a group, please discuss a time that your group can take a Sunday and sponsor Fellowship Time. The more hands to serve, the easier it becomes. A sign will be posted to display the group’s name to encourage membership in the group. If your group has an upcoming event, this could be a way to advertise your event – signs can be posted during Fellowship Time. Contact Lisa Bryda for details here
