Contemporary (Common Ground) Service



Sunday September 25, 2022

On Sunday, September 25, 2022, Pender Lead Pastor Will White will preach on "Gulf is Crossed" based on Luke 16:19-31.

This week, we have a powerful story of reversal, the world turned upside-down. Or rather, right side up. This parable is what Mary sang about in the Magnificat way back at the beginning of Luke’s Gospel. The poor are filled with good things, and the rich are sent away hungry; brought down the powerful and lifted up the lowly. Here it is acted out in the parable Jesus told to those who were ridiculing him because they loved money more than God’s kingdom.

"Gulf is Crossed" is from the sermon series titled Having Words with Jesus.

We look forward to seeing you!

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

The Next Contemporary Worship will be September 25 at 11:15 am


Welcome to Common Ground

Not everyone is cut out for the same worship style.

Common Ground is Pender United Methodist Church's contemporary worship experience led by our worship leader and a rock-style worship band. You'll find worship to be more interactive and energetic, and you'll hear messages that are relevant to everyday life. 

Young children are more than welcome! We have a play area within our worship space set aside just for them, or they can enjoy our awesome Sunday school program. We also have paid staff nursery care available for our littlest ones.

You will leave feeling closer to Jesus, challenged and more prepared to serve Him, and warmed by a relationship in a genuine community of Christ-followers. We hope to see you soon!
