Combined Sunday School Class
A combined Adult Sunday School class is meeting Sunday mornings at 9:30 am, in person in the Fellowship Hall in order to allow for social distancing. Please wear your mask. Max Loyd, Adult Sunday School Director, is coordinating the class. If your Sunday School class has not been meeting on Zoom, if you are
ready to gather in person, if you have not been previously connected with a Sunday School class, or if you are just looking for a fresh start, you are welcome!
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


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
