WFCM thanks our congregation for our continued support of their food pantry. With the recent economy, they have seen a tremendous increase in the number of families in need.
According to WFCM, since July 1, 2013 Pender UMC has provided them with food and toiletries totaling 7,952.87 pounds!
Great job Pender!
Bring one or more cans of soup or other canned food THIS Sunday to fill Pender’s food pantry and help stock Western Fairfax Christian Ministries’ shelves. Containers will be available in the Narthex.
Ruth Circle will be selling necklaces, bracelets, and earrings February 9th from 8:00 am to noon.
This is a good time to think about your favorite Valentine. We will also have a few handmade little boxes.
All items will be $5.00 each.
Again, all proceeds will go to Western Fairfax Christian Ministries and the Backpack program.
