“Promises Fulfilled” at Pender UMC | August 24, 2025 The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Join us for worship on Sunday, August 27, 2025—the 11th Sunday after Pentecost—as Pastor Bruce Johnson preaches on “Promises Fulfilled.” Drawing from Genesis 21, Galatians 3:6-9, and Luke 13:10-17, we’ll reflect on God’s faithfulness across generations and the hope we hold through Christ.

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
12401 Alder Woods Drive, Fairfax, VA US 22033
