WFCM Food Pantry Donations
All donations of food and toiletries are welcomed and needed. Leave items in the Western Fairfax Christian Ministries blue cart outside Pender's main door.
Item of the Week: Rice (through 10/5/2023)
JDC (Juvenile Detention Center)
Wanted: Volunteers to attend Pender's monthly church service at the Fairfax Juvenile Detention Center. Our next date is October 22. We meet at the jail at 1:15p, and are out by 2:35p. Our ministry at the jail is growing, and the young people thirst for the water of life because of their circumstances. It is easy fishin' as they already stepped out of their cell to come to church. It is a showing up thing. That's all you need to do... show up. Contact Arlet if interested.
Calling All Shepherds!
If you like working with children (ages PreK - grade 6) and are willing to help distribute materials and assist children in the classroom, we'd love to have you join our Children's Sunday School team!
Help our children to feel God's love and the support/encouragement of our Pender family! (Sundays, 10:15 - 11am. Sign up for 1 week or 40!) Please contact Jane McKee.
Candy and Snacks Needed
There are two bins in the narthex for the congregation to supply individually wrapped candy and snacks for the fall festival on October 21.
Fun with Music Donations
Jim and Roberta Pont will be offering Fun With Music again starting October 2. They could use a few more toys for children ages 0 to 5.
Also any children's books also for ages 0 to 5 that would be in good condition to give to the children on their birthday month. During their birthday month we sing Happy Birthday and the children get to pick a book to take home.
Please bring toys and books to Pender. Roberta has left a bin marked Fun With Music in the church office. Any questions? Please feel free to call or email Roberta Pont.
