“Proclaiming the Good News" at Pender UMC | September 14, 2025
Join us on Sunday, September 14, 2025, for a special worship service led by the children and youth of Pender! Daniel King will bring a message titled “Proclaiming the Good News,” reflecting on 1 Timothy 1 and Luke 15.
The service will also feature a short drama, “The Lost Coin,” as we celebrate the joy of being found and the faith of our youngest voices.
Don’t miss this uplifting and creative morning of worship!
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.
