Welcome!
We’re glad to have you here with us this Christmas Eve!
Whether this is your first time here or you’re a member of our church family, we desire to welcome you and offer the opportunity for you to engage in worship and teachings from the Word of God. If you have any questions or need directions, please ask an usher or staff member.
If you’re new to Pendleton Center or need to update your info, please fill out a Friendship Card - they are the green cards in the back of the chairs. You can also go to pendletonchurch.org/bulletin to fill one out online.
Thank you for joining us this Christmas Eve!
We hope to see you again very soon.
Children’s worship bulletins & clipboards with activities are available for children. Please see an usher or visit the table at the back of the sanctuary to get one.
Jr. Church is a worship service designed just for kids (3 y.o. - 6th gr.), and is available during our 7:00 PM service. Children are always welcome in our worship service, but we know that it’s difficult for most children to focus during service. If you would like your child to participate in Jr. Church, before going into the service, please bring your children to the Ark.
Nursery care is available during the 7:00 PM service for 0-2 years. The Nursery is located by the main entrance to the church.
A Family Room is available next to the sound booth, in the back right of the main sanctuary, where you can sit with babies or small children if needed.
A Hearing Impaired System is available. Please see an usher for assistance.
