Please join us for worship at Pender United Methodist Church on Sunday, August 23, 2026, the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, as Pastor Bruce Johnson shares the message: "Body Work”.

God has uniquely gifted each of us to serve His kingdom. In this week's message, Pastor Bruce explores what it means to be the Body of Christ—a community where every person has a purpose, every gift is valuable, and every act of service strengthens the whole.

Drawing from the story of Moses' remarkable beginning, Paul's call to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, and Peter's bold confession that Jesus is the Messiah, we'll discover how God calls ordinary people to extraordinary work for His glory.

Scripture readings for this Sunday's service include:
Exodus 1:8–12
Exodus 1:22
Exodus2:10
Romans 12:1–8
Matthew 16:13–20

Whether you are joining us in person or online, we invite you to worship with us as we celebrate the many ways God works through His people. Come discover how your gifts can make a difference in the life of the church and the world.

We look forward to worshiping with you!
