We joined together on a transformative spiritual journey this third Sunday of Easter, April 14, 2024, at Pender UMC. Carol-Anne Kay, our dedicated Lay Leader and esteemed Guest Speaker, guided us through a poignant exploration titled "Suffering through the lens of the Cross and the Resurrection." This timely message, grounded in the profound truths of Romans 5:1-5 and the narrative journey of Luke 22-24, deepened our understanding of suffering in light of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and triumphant resurrection.
Engage with us as we delve into the complexities of human hardship, framed by the hope and victory that Easter embodies. Carol-Anne's insights will shed new light on how our trials can lead to perseverance, character, and a hope that does not disappoint, because of the love God has poured out into our hearts.
This service is an invitation to all seeking solace, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose through the transformative power of the Easter story. Whether you're facing challenges or walking alongside others in their struggles, this message is for you.
Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications so you won't miss out on this enriching experience. We're looking forward to welcoming you to this service of reflection, encouragement, and community fellowship. Join us as we continue to witness the unfolding grace that each new Sunday in Easter brings.

GBE Backpack Meal Program Thanks and Update
The next bags are available now to be returned by April 21st.
We wanted to thank you all so much for your very active participation in filling the blue bags for GBE. Each time we put them out they are all taken and brought back full! We can't tell you how much we and the counselors and students at GBE appreciate this! The bags will once again be available this weekend.
We have just been requested to provide 74 bags for each of our remaining three weeks versus the 50 we have been providing weekly. Because of this...there are even more blue bags in need of filling, but a friendly note that this is the LAST time for us to do this for the school year, because of the help of WFCM.
In addition to filling the blue bags if you have any plastic grocery bags that you would like to recycle, they have said that would be of great help in distributing the additional WFCM provided items. Thank you again for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact Jami Flemmons or Ann Hines

JDC (Juvenile Detention Center)
Wanted: Volunteers to attend Pender's monthly church service at the Fairfax Juvenile Detention Center. Our next date will be April 28th..
We meet at the jail at 12:30p, and are out by 2:00p.
Our ministry at the jail is growing, and the young people thirst for the water of life because of their circumstances. It is easy fishin' as they already stepped out of their cell to come to church.
It is a showing up thing. That's all you need to do... show up. Contact Arlet if interested.
