Our Quarterly Church Conference for April will take place both in person at church and on Zoom. After the conference, join us on the church grounds for a picnic. Bring your own picnic supper, and the church will provide bottled water. We will plan to offer childcare on the playground during the church conference if needed; please contact Jennifer Rygg if you would like to sign up for childcare.
Please note that while COVID numbers in SC have decreased, and some in our community have been vaccinated, COVID remains a health concern. We will continue to wear masks and observe social distancing while at church, recognizing the need to protect one another.

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

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. |

Drive-Thru COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Available in Clemson |
|
This message is from Dr. Ted Swann, a physician in Clemson.
Dear Patients,
Dr. Tolbert and I received a large supply of Moderna COVID-19 vaccines from DHEC. Dr. Tolbert and I have been in contact with Clemson area community physicians and nurses and pharmacists as well as city leadership and together we are ready to launch an after-hours community vaccine initiative.
We prefer that most people schedule their appointments online through the registration link below. However, we also have a direct number to simply call to be registered (864-900-0673) for those that need a helping hand.
There is both an online registration questionnaire to complete and a form to be printed and completed prior to arrival at the vaccination clinic. The link to this form can be found in the registration link.
Our clinic will be a drive through (stay in your car) clinic and will be held in the parking lot of Clemson United Methodist Church. For now we plan to be running Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 5:30-8:30. We aim to give between 100-300 shots per clinic and be fast, timely, and efficient.
If you are interested in volunteering as part of our clinical or non-clinical team we may be in need. Additional inquiries can be sent to vaccinehelper@swannmedicine.com. Thanks for all of your support and please help us spread the word.
Dr. Swann

AnMed Health Opens COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics to Walk-ins |
|
WHEN: Thursday, April 22 and Friday, April 23
TIME: 8:00 am to 3:30 pm
WHERE: Civic Center of Anderson · 3027 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Anderson, SC
On Thursday, April 22, and Friday, April 23, AnMed Health will open its COVID-19 vaccine clinics at the Civic Center of Anderson to walk-ins 16-years and older. No appointment will be necessary on those days. If an appointment has already been made for April 22 and 23, those scheduled will receive the vaccine at their appointment time. Appointments still will be required for AnMed Health’s vaccine clinic on Saturday, April 24.
“A COVID-19 vaccination perhaps is the most important tool we have to stop the pandemic. Evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people are less likely to be hospitalized or get severe COVID symptoms. A nationwide review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths. We believe the vaccine is safe and encourage it for everyone in our community,” said AnMed Health’s Dr. Michael Seemuller.
|
|
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.
