Oh the Joy of Being Hacked!

Some of you have been the recipients of a delightful little email from me asking for your money. And I am so sorry. I hope you immediately recognized that the atrocious spelling and grammar of the note evidences a crook whose short-cut to money-making obviously skipped over high school English or the ESL (English as a Second Language) classes he should have taken first.

A Not Quite Grand "Grand 
Opening" This Sabbath

How can you possibly have a Grand Opening that is not quite "grand"? It’s not too difficult, actually. First, pick a future date your major renovation project should be completed and lock it into the calendar. Then add the days your 5-star roofing crew has to take off because of inclement weather (read rain). Then factor in the usual ebb and flow the building industry operates by. And then recalculate the date you’ve already announced.

But the good news is—rain or shine—finished or not—we're going to gather this Sabbath (October 26 both services) to celebrate what God has done over this historic summer in renovating his House of Prayer for All People into this showcase sanctuary for his glory. Nothing but the best for the Lord of Pioneer. We have every reason to joyfully worship him.

Please be clear—this is not the Dedication Worship Service that is yet to come. That high day arrives when the last dollar for Renovate: Heart & House is paid off! And by God’s grace, that day doesn’t have to be far away.

But in the meantime let's join together in praising God, thanking our renovation crews, and celebrating the Lord who always finishes what he starts. It will be a memorable Sabbath worship. (BTW don't miss the two GenZer artists who will be displaying their creativity this Sabbath: "A DIY Guide How to Paint Jesus: GenZ Eye Witness Account.")

Thank You Pastors!

Our Pioneer pastors work diligently on our behalf, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts. October is Pastor Appreciation Month and we have provided a card for you to write a personal note to one or more of our pastors (Dwight Nelson, Jose’ Bourget, John Glass, Ben Martin, Lindsey Pratt, Taurus Montgomery, Rodlie Ortiz), or ministers (Kenneth Logan, Richard Parke). Return your completed cards today to the welcome stations located in the Narthex, the Welcome Center downstairs, or at the desk between the Youth Chapel and the Sanctuary. Thank you!
