Wed Night Bible Study
Wednesday Night Bible study this week will be called "God-breathed." We'll examine a number of Scriptures but primarily 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Psalm 137:8-9, as we examine how even difficult and troubling passages of Scripture can teach us and bring us closer to Christ. Rev. Chris Cottingham will lead the study.

The Worship of God

Second Sunday of Easter

Scripture Reading

“Walking the Road”

Rev. Dr. Jay Kieve
Guest Preacher



Look for an email Sunday morning with the link to the YouTube video and a link to Facebook.
We will also premiere the service on Facebook at 11 am on Sunday. This will allow us to watch “together,” greet one another in the comments section, and have a greater sense of community as a church family.
Combined Sunday School Class Starts Sunday, Apr 18
We are going to start a Combined Adult Sunday School Class in the Fellowship Hall at 9:30 am beginning April 18. Max Loyd will be coordinating the class.
Offering for Global Missions
We remember those around the world who need to hear and experience the good news. Consider making a gift to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Offering for Global Missions. This year’s theme is Extend Hope and Hospitality, featuring Mira and Sasha Zivanov (St. Louis, Missouri) and Janee Angel (Antwerp, Belgium). Hear about their ministries and how your gift can make a difference in this 2 ½ minute video. Your gifts to the Offering for Global Missions will extend lasting hope and loving hospitality to refugees and people living in poverty around the world. FBC Pendleton will participate in the CBF Offering for Global Missions throughout the month of April.

Do not neglect to send hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2
Update to Plans for In-Person Worship
Due to the current work in the sanctuary, the upcoming installation of new audiovisual equipment, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, church council has decided to continue focusing primarily on on-line worship for now, although we are planning for an in-person event for the April 25th church conference.

While we are eager to return to worship in the sanctuary, delaying for a few more weeks has several advantages:

  • allows us to continue to provide a high quality worship experience (without the technical difficulties of livestreaming)
  • allows the work in the sanctuary to proceed as quickly as possible
  • gives more time for members of the congregation to be vaccinated

The new audiovisual equipment that will soon be installed will provide the technology to livestream the service. For now, we will continue to premiere the service at 11 am on Facebook each week. The service is also available on YouTube beginning early Sunday morning. Thank you for your patience in this year of both challenges and new opportunities!
Worship Volunteers
As we are pre-recording worship for YouTube and Facebook, we need worship volunteers for reading Scripture and praying the Offertory Prayer. This involves recording a video of yourself and then uploading it to the church -- it’s not hard. We’ll tell you how to do it and provide “tech support” if you need it.

If you would like to volunteer as a Scripture reader or praying the Offertory Prayer, please use the link below or email office@fbcpendleton.org or call the office at 864-646-3913.
Giving an offering is an act of worship. Your generosity is as important as ever, enabling the work of the church to continue as much as possible. Several giving options are available:
  • Secure Online Giving is available at fbcpendleton.org. Click the GIVE NOW button below.
  • Text the word FBCPENDLETON to recipient 73256
  • Mail your offering to: FBCP ∙ PO Box 187 ∙ Pendleton, SC 29670
  • Set up your offering as a recurring bill pay option through your online banking
Phase 2 is open! That means anyone 16 years or older can schedule a COVID Vaccination. You can schedule your vaccination using the link below.
