SUMMARY:Early Bird Registration for Vacation Bible School
DESCRIPTION:Snowball Mountain Challenge at Pender UMC\nGet ready to turn your next summer VBS into an unforgettable adventure with Snowball Mountain Challenge VBS 2026! \nSnowball Mountain Challenge invites kids to an exciting winter sports event where they become Challengers\, gearing up for frosty games\, snowy surprises\, and hands-on lessons about resilience and faith. They will come to realize that with the strength God provides\, they can share their gifts\, be brave\, give their all\, pray\, and hope. \nYour kids will be guided by the energetic Activities Director and the lovable Ollie the Arctic Seal puppet\, who is reporting on the events. Challengers aren’t just playing games. Using their Challenge Companion (the Bible)\, they learn to draw strength from their faith through powerful stories\, while connecting the learnings to Bible Stories and Lift Lessons (Key Learnings). With a unique winter theme and solid theology at its core\, Snowball Mountain Challenge VBS delivers joy and meaning in equal measure\, teaching kids that “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13\, NRSV). \nBring your family together to experience Snowball Mountain Challenge. Your VBS program will be transformed into a mountaintop experience filled with laughter\, life lessons\, and lasting faith. As children face their challenges and discover their strength in God\, you’ll hear them say\, “Challenge accepted – with God I am strong.” \nAges\nPotty-trained three year olds through ninth grade \nEarly Bird Registration is $25 per child until May 31. Registration includes lunch and a T-shirt.\nStarting June 1 registration will be $30 per child. \nQuestions?\nContact\nJane McKee\nVBS Director\n(703) 278-8023 \nRegister here. \nCan you help? \nVolunteer here.

SUMMARY:Caring Hands
DESCRIPTION:“Crafted in fellowship\, prayed over in faith\, given in love.” \nWe’re delighted to revive our Caring Hands Ministry as an in-person gathering once again! We meet at 10:00 AM on the second Saturday of each month in the Pender UMC Library. \nThis is a relaxed\, welcoming time to knit\, crochet\, talk\, and share as we work together. Our handmade items—prayer shawls\, baby blankets\, lap blankets\, scarves\, hats\, slippers and care bags—are lovingly prayed over and then distributed to those in need\, offering comfort\, warmth\, and a tangible reminder of God’s care. \nWhether you’re an experienced crafter\, just learning\, or simply want to stop by for conversation and fellowship\, you are welcome. You don’t need to be actively working on a project to join us—come sit\, chat\, and enjoy the community. \nTogether\, we create more than stitches—we create connections\, prayers\, and gifts of love. \n🧵 All are welcome. Come as you are.
