Why?The young mother, frazzled and spent from hanging on to her two children and all their Christmas shopping bags, stepped into the crowded elevator. The holiday mania had taken its toll.

"Love on the Move"To launch our New Year theme at Pioneer, "Love on the Move," we soon embark on a congregation-wide thirteen-week journey through the short classic Steps to Christ. In a few days you will receive by email both an electronic version of Steps to Christ and an attractive check-off reading calendar. Why not download the e-book onto your devices and print off the reading calendar to guide your devotional reflections over the first thirteen weeks of 2020. I’m happy to testify how blessed I am every time I read this book. And I don’t mind telling you God used it to reorient my life spiritually when I was a 22-year-old student here on campus. The title of the book became a self-fulfilling prophecy in my life, as I rediscovered steps to a new friendship with Jesus. I believe you’ll be just as rewarded. If you want to make sure you (or family members) receive this "Love on the Move" New Year collection, please send your current email address to clerk@pmchurch.org. Can you think of a better way to begin the year ahead than with Christ?
