On Sunday, May 17, Pender United Methodist Church hosted a special “Together in Praise” Intergenerational Service—a joyful celebration of worship where all ages participated and led together.
From children to youth to adults, this unique service highlighted the beauty of being one family in Christ, with each generation sharing their gifts through music, prayer, Scripture, and creative expression.
“Together in Praise” reflects our commitment to being a church where everyone belongs, everyone participates, and every voice matters. It was a meaningful time of connection, faith, and shared worship that brought our entire community together.
Come experience the joy of worshiping across generations and see how God is at work in every age and stage of life.
Join us in person or online for future services—there’s a place for you here!

What’s Inside:
As of this writing, the pantry is filled with a wide variety of items, including:
