On Sunday, March 3, 2024, during the Third Sunday of Lent, Pender UMC Pastor Bruce Johnson captivated hearts with his sermon "The Shape of Wisdom," drawing profound insights from the sacred texts of Exodus 20:1-17, 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, and John 2:13-22.

This Sunday was extra special as it marked the first Sunday of the month, meaning Holy Communion was served, bringing the congregation closer in a shared moment of grace and reflection.

The air was charged with praise as Patrick King, our dynamic Director of Music Ministries, led the Praise Band in a lineup of soul-stirring anthems. Feel the joy and gratitude with "Oh Give Thanks" by Judith Christie McAllister, reach towards the heavens with "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" by Rick Founds, join in the universal chorus of "Every Praise" by Hezekiah Walker, and stand firm in faith with "Everlasting God" by Lincoln Brewster.
