Sunday August 21, 2022

On Sunday, August 21, 2022, Pender Lead Pastor Rev. Will White will preach on "I Knew You" based on Jeremiah 1:4-10.

We’re back on more comfortable ground this week. Here we have the promise of presence. Supposedly, John Wesley’s final words were “best thing of all, God is with us.” We love to celebrate that God is with us and we are not alone. That is a powerful message at any time of the year.

"I Knew You" is from the sermon series titled Prophet Margins.

We look forward to seeing you!

All of Pender's services are streamed live and in person. Masks are currently optional.

About Pender's Music MInistry

The Safety Committee

Our current needs:

  • One person to sit in the office carefully observing the camera displays. That person would stay for a second hour, either before or after, to participate in either the traditional or contemporary service.
  • Two Greeters, one outside each of the church's two entrances, performing a friendly greeting service, while keeping a watchful eye on folks approaching. Those Greeters come into church and participate in the service after it starts.

WFCM Food Pantry Donations

All donations of food and toiletries are welcomed and needed. Leave items in ehe Western Fairfax Christian Ministries blue cart outside Pender's main door.

Item of the Week: Rice (through 8/25/2022)

Technical and Creative Team

We work together for sound, lights, recording, computer graphics, and motion video. We need to grow our AV team!

Have you ever wondered how Pender Church produces our online live streaming services? Who runs the soundboard, slideshow, and camera, and what are their responsibilities?

If you are curious or interested in volunteering to help with the online production of our church services, please attend an AV rehearsal on Thursday night at 6:00 pm Teens are welcome!
