Sunday, May 29, 2022
On Sunday, May 29, 2022, Lay Leader, Ken Ferris will preach on "After the Rain" based on Psalm 28:7 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
Based upon the Rob Bell "Nooma" Christian podcast series, join Ken Ferris as he follows through on the Nooma episode "Rain". Drawing upon a precious personal memory, Ken will suggest a different "after the rain" response to God when we face challenges and difficulties in life. During the troubled times we encounter, responding to God's care with this fresh perspective has the potential to change us and enhance our relationship with our Heavenly Father!
May 29, 2022 is the Seventh Sunday of Easter.
Join us live at Pender UMC
12401 Alder Woods Drive, Fairfax, VA US 22033

Care and Connect Team
A team has been created at Pender called “Care and Connect”
This team is involved in assisting Rev. White with routine pastoral care during busy seasons, help provide care when the Pastor is out for educational leave or vacation, and will also engage in periodic efforts to reach out to inactive members as well as support for members having surgery.
CAN YOU HELP?
We are looking for VBS teachers to share in a fun teaching experience beginning June 20th-24th, 9:00 am-12:00 noon. The theme: "A Great Big Beautiful World!"
Please contact Minister Howard Finley for more information.
Greeters
Greeters are our front line ministers of welcome. Greeters usually provide the first official point of contact with the congregation. Your role as a greeter is critically important to set the tone of welcoming in the congregation. As you serve in this ministry, keep these guidelines in mind

To be a helper, you can volunteer to set up coffee and snacks on Sunday mornings, clean up after the final Sunday service.

JDC (Juvenile Detention Center)
Join us in worship with the young men and women at the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center.
You may feel like your individual participation doesn’t matter, but it does! Over and over again, the staff tells us how we make a difference in the young men’s and women’s lives and the lives of the staff!
It is always on the 4th Sunday of the month at the Fairfax Juvenile Detention Center from 1:15 pm to 2:30 pm.
The Safety Committee
Our current needs:
- One person to sit in the office carefully observing the camera displays. That person would stay for a second hour, either before or after, to participate in either the traditional or contemporary service.
- Two Greeters, one outside each of the church's two entrances, performing a friendly greeting service, while keeping a watchful eye on folks approaching. Those Greeters come into church and participate in the service after it starts.
Sunday School Teachers/VBS
Sunday School on Sunday mornings, at 10:15 and 10:30 am, we offer Sunday school for children 2 years old through adult. Summer teachers needed from mid-June through August.
Minister Howard is also looking for volunteers for VBS (Vacation Bible School).
Technical and Creative Team
We work together for sound, lights, recording, computer graphics, and motion video. We need to grow our AV team!
Have you ever wondered how Pender Church produces our online live streaming services? Who runs the soundboard, slideshow, and camera, and what are their responsibilities?
If you are curious or interested in volunteering to help with the online production of our church services, please attend an AV rehearsal on Thursday night at 6:00 pm Teens are welcome!
