For the Love of an Animal

 PASTOR'S BLOG

What do you say we shift gears for a few Sabbaths? Last fall it was “American Apocalypse.” This winter it was, “The Maker of All Things Loves and Wants Me.” But with springtime chomping at the bits to break out all over the land, let's celebrate the “Maker of all things” in the context of the wonderful little (and sometimes not so little) animals He has created for our blessing.

Foster Family Gift Basket Project

This spring, our Grow Groups ministry is leading a project to put together a gift basket for each active foster family in Berrien County (75 total). These families are meeting a very special need in our community, and Pioneer wants to support them in their love on the move.
Each basket will have an outdoor exploration theme, and will include a Bible storybook, snack items, outdoor activities, a certificate redeemable for a family membership at Sarett Nature Center or another local nature area, information about Pioneer’s Grow Groups and Children and Family Discipleship programs, our Mommy and Me events, and more!
Do you want to be "Love on the Move" for our county foster families?

Talking: Community Services

This conversation focuses on Jesus' words, "As the Father sent me, I am sending you". Pioneer's Pastor for Administration, Jenifer Daley, talks about the marginalized in our communities and how we can contribute to making their lives better. 

Mommy & Me

Mommy and Me are meeting again now that the weather is warming up! This is a group for kids 0-5 years old and their parents to come to make friends, learn, and play! Meetings on Tuesday mornings from 10:00-11:15. Pre-registration is required this year so we can effectively communicate changes in location and schedule. The location will vary. Dads are welcome.
