August 9, 2026

JJoin us for worship at Pender United Methodist Church on Sunday, August 9, 2026, the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, as Pastor Bruce Johnson shares the message: “Saving Faith”.

What does it mean to trust God when the winds are strong and the path ahead is uncertain? This week's worship service explores the power of faith that reaches beyond fear and calls us to step forward with confidence in Christ.

Drawing from Paul's message to the Romans and Matthew's account of Jesus walking on the water, Pastor Bruce will reflect on how saving faith is more than belief—it is a life of trusting, following, and calling on the name of the Lord, even in the midst of life's storms.

Scripture readings for the morning include:

Romans 10:5–15
Matthew 14:22–33

As Peter steps out of the boat and onto the water, we are reminded that Jesus meets us where faith and fear collide, extending His hand to lift us up and strengthen our trust.

Whether you are joining us in person or online, we invite you to worship with us as we grow in faith, encourage one another, and celebrate the steadfast love of Christ.

We look forward to welcoming you!
