“A Prayer to Begin the Day” – Psalm 95
Pastor Bruce Johnson
The Third Sunday of Lent
March 8, 2026 at 10 am
On Sunday, March 8, 2026 — the Third Sunday of Lent, join us for worship at Pender United Methodist Church as Pastor Bruce Johnson shares a message titled “A Prayer to Begin the Day.”
Drawing from Psalm 95, this sermon invites us to begin each day with gratitude, humility, and openness to God’s voice. During the season of Lent—a time of reflection and renewal—we are reminded to pause, listen, and trust the One who leads us through both wilderness and grace.
Scripture Reading:Exodus 17:1–7
Gospel Reading: John 4:5–42
The Gospel passage will be presented as a dramatic reading from the Common English Bible, bringing to life the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. This reading will be shared by Andy, Mark, and Jane.
Through Scripture, prayer, and worship, we will reflect on how God meets us in our daily lives, offering living water, renewal, and hope.
Join us in person or online as we continue our Lenten journey together. Watch live or catch the replay on our YouTube channel.
At 10:00 am, Pender offers a traditional/blended worship service. The service includes traditional music as well as praise music. You’ll find a variety of musical groups participating in these worship services, ranging from children, youth and adults, to vocal, flute, recorder and bell choirs.
At Pender’s traditional/blended service, you get the best of both worlds! We celebrate the traditions of our faith at these services with the scriptures, the creeds of the church, the symbols of our faith and a word from the Bible that applies spiritual principles to everyday life.
Holy Communion is shared the first Sunday of every month. Come and join us for worship every Sunday in the main sanctuary at Pender.
