“Our Call to Ministry”, All Saints Sunday

Join us for worship on Sunday, November 2, 2025—All Saints Sunday, as we remember those who have gone before us and reflect on the legacy of faith they’ve left behind.

Worship leader David Kinard will preach a message titled “Our Call to Ministry,” drawing from 1 Samuel 3 and Matthew 4 to explore how God calls each of us to serve.

We will also share in the Sacrament of Holy Communion and give thanks for the saints who continue to inspire our walk with Christ.

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
