What's Right with the Church

What's Right with the Church | October 25, 2026 | Pender UMC

Join us for worship at Pender United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 25, 2026, as we celebrate Reformation Sunday and the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost.

Pastor Bruce Johnson will share the message “What’s Right with the Church,” inviting us to reflect on the blessings, purpose, and calling of the Church in today's world.

📖 Scripture Readings:

In Romans, the Apostle Paul reminds us of the Church's calling to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus teaches us the greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

On Reformation Sunday, we remember the Church's history of renewal and transformation while celebrating the ways God continues to work through His people today. Rather than focusing on what's wrong with the Church, we'll explore what's right—the faith, love, service, and hope that unite us as the Body of Christ.

🌟 Moment for Ministry: Sunday School

During worship, David and Pamela Kinard will share a special Moment for Ministry highlighting Sunday School at Pender. Discover how Sunday School helps us grow in faith, deepen our understanding of Scripture, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen our Christian community.

Whether you're a longtime member, a first-time visitor, or joining us online, you are always welcome at Pender!

Come worship with us as we celebrate God's continuing work in and through the Church.
