Renovate Updates

This week the various lighting upgrades in the renovation factored aesthetic qualities, brightness, color temperature, reliable controls, and energy efficiency. To accomplish this we went with LED lights with hardwires to power and control systems. Our chandeliers required custom work to ensure proper mounting. The custom work was delayed by only three weeks. "Only" because it could have been much more if it weren't for your prayers. They should arrive on Monday. Keep praying until they are hung and powered!

The roof continues to be worked on. Shingles are completed on the north side of the Sanctuary and the South side is almost ready.

Rotary Chicken Barbecue

The annual Rotary Chicken BBQ is coming up soon! This Rotary BBQ has been taking place annually for over 40 years in this community as a fundraiser.

Tickets are $10 and includes chicken or Sam's veggie "chicken," potato salad, a roll, baked beans, and a cookie. Pick up tickets at the front desk at PMC during regular office hours.

This is a great way for PMC members to be involved and make a difference in the community. On a local level, Rotary gives scholarships to outstanding students, helps subsidize the Andrews Academy Educational Tour, and helps with local disasters like the flood that happened two years ago. On an international level, Rotary works to bring clean water to dry communities, end polio, and much more. You can read more about their international work here.

Thanks for using this opportunity to make a practical difference in the lives of this community and beyond.

Thursday, August 8, 4:00 - 7:00 PM
Location: Berrien Springs Middle School

Can't Worship at Pioneer this Summer?

Everyone loves the freedom of summertime—and you, too, will be visiting new places and enjoying old company in the weeks ahead. But in your summer travels, please don’t forget Pioneer back at home. Anywhere you go you can access www.adventistgiving.org. Or better yet download the Adventist Giving app (at your App Store). Your summertime faithfulness keeps every ministry of Pioneer growing. And keeps Renovate: Heart & Home growing, too, in time for us all to return to Pioneer at summer's end. Thank you.
