“The Indispensable King”, Christ the King Sunday
Celebrate Christ the King Sunday with us on November 23, 2025 at 10 am, as we reflect on the power and presence of Jesus, our risen King.
Pastor Bruce will preach the message, “The Indispensable King,” which will explore Colossians 1:11–20 and Luke 23:33–43 reminding us of Christ’s authority, humility, and enduring reign.
Come and be lifted by Scripture, worship, and the hope we share in our King.
All are welcome as we gather for encouragement, worship, and the good news of God’s presence with us.
Whether in person or online, those who join will be renewed by God’s Word, music, and the warmth of Christian community.
Come as you are, and be inspired to take your next faithful step and you'll be encouraged by Scripture, worship, and the promise-keeping nature of our God.
Services are also posted in our sermon archive.
Join us live at Pender UMC
