Sunday, March 30, 2025, was the fourth Sunday of Lent. At Pender UMC Pastor Bruce Johnson enlightened us with a sermon titled “Christian Fellowship: What Christians Do and Why it Matters”.

Drawing from the rich teachings of 1 John 1:1-4 and 1 John 4:7-21 as well as Matthew 16:13-20, Pastor Johnson explored the profound impact of fellowship in the Christian community.

The Carillon Ringers opened the service with an arrangement of Be Still My Soul.

Additionally, we heard a special children's message and received exciting updates on the ongoing efforts of UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief).
