Sunday July 27, 2025, the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, please join us at Pender United Methodist Church for a meaningful and inspiring worship service. Pastor Bruce Johnson will preach a sermon titled "Character Matters", drawing from Genesis 13:1–18 and Luke 17:20–33 to explore how integrity, humility, and faithfulness shape our walk with God.
We'll also hear a brief and heartfelt recap from Jane McKe* about the recent youth mission trip to Philippi, West Virginia.
As part of the service’s musical offering, Sean Whitmer will perform “Allemande” from JS Bach’s Partita in D Minor on violin, accompanied by Heidi Jacobs on piano—a beautiful moment of classical reflection and worship.
Come worship with us in person or online, and be renewed by God’s Word, music, and community.
Services are also posted in our sermon archive.
Join us live at Pender UMC
12401 Alder Woods Drive, Fairfax, VA US 22033
