June 15, 2025
by Pastor Bruce Johnson
On this special Sunday, Pastor Bruce Johnson preached a message titled “Why Trinity Sunday?”
Laity Sunday – June 29, 2025 | Pender UMC
Join us for a special Laity Sunday worship service at Pender! Each year, The United Methodist Church sets aside this day to honor the ministry and witness of laypersons in the church and in everyday life.
On this Sunday, our lay members lead every part of the service—sharing their gifts, stories, and leadership as we celebrate the vital role of the laity in the life of the church.
From the early days of American Methodism to today, lay people have been the heart of ministry—serving at work, at home, and in their communities. Come be inspired by their faith in action!
Come be encouraged, informed, and reminded that in Christ, we are one body—called to serve in love.
There's no dress code - whether you prefer jeans and a t-shirt or a dress and suit, you'll fit right in.
Join us live at Pender UMC 12401 Alder Woods Drive, Fairfax, VA US 22033
Services are also posted in our sermon archive.

Let’s Make a Difference Together at VBS 2025!
Every year, Vacation Bible School at Pender is more than crafts, songs, and stories—it’s also a chance to put faith into action through a meaningful service project. And this year, we’re thrilled to once again make an impact!
In 2025, we’re partnering with Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM)—a local organization that provides vital support to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or hardship in our own community.
This year’s mission? Collecting full-sized toiletry items that are urgently needed. Each day of VBS, we’ll focus on one essential item:
- Monday, June 23: Baby Wipes
- Tuesday, June 24: Shampoo
- Wednesday, June 25: Toothbrush
- Thursday, June 26: Toothpaste
- Friday, June 27: Hair Conditioner
Whether you’re a child, teen, parent, or volunteer—you can be part of this blessing! Let’s come together, share God’s love in a real and practical way, and remind our neighbors that they are seen, valued, and supported. Every single item makes a difference!
More opportunities to serve
Lend a helping hand to our local heroes by contributing to the Pender Police Rest Stop! We are currently in need of bottled water.
We are collecting a variety of items that our officers greatly appreciate during their shifts. You can drop off your donations at the church office, clearly marked "Rest Stop."
Here’s what our officers are currently enjoying:
- Celsius Energy Drinks to keep them energized
- Drizzilicious Rice Cakes for a light snack
- A variety of chips for that perfect crunch
Additionally, we're always in need of:
- Full-size water bottles (Please note: the 4oz bottles are not utilized)
- Refreshing beverages like seltzers, Gatorade, Propel, Aspire, and other energy drinks
- Individual-sized snacks such as potato chips, jerky, cookies, and nuts
Your contributions make a real difference in the daily routines of our police officers, providing them with the sustenance and morale boost they need to keep our community safe. Drop by with your contributions and show your support!
