Are We Lying About America?

Are we lying about America? I'll let you decide for yourself. But I'm intrigued by a new book I'm reading: Twelve Lies That Hold America Captive: And the Truth That Sets Us Free (Jonathan P. Walton, Intervarsity Press 2019). Not wanting to spoil your read of the book, I'll resist critiquing Walton's list of lies (though I have held similar convictions regarding several of the twelve for a long time). You may check out a listing of all twelve lies at www.ivpress.com. Read more

Perhaps thats why “The Last Letter” has been left unopened and unread for so long. But what if we’ve been wrong? Then why keep waiting? Pioneer Memorial Church—Winter of 2019.

Something In Common

The message to God's church, Laodicea, as Pastor Dwight pointed out last week, is full of some very tense moments. Vomiting is not a pleasant topic to discuss, especially around mealtime. And that was the setting. Jesus seemed to be showing up on time with his "stuff" for a meal. It seems to have been planned. A time to eat and enjoy some hospitality, community, and intimacy.

Backpacks for Berrien Collection

Each month one of the various denominational churches in Berrien Springs collects food to be distributed on Fridays by Backpacks for Berrien to Berrien Springs public school students who otherwise may not have much to eat over the weekend. January and February are PMC’s months. The food must be packaged in individual serving sizes. No cans or bottles. By the types of food we select to donate, we can even make a health statement. Here are the healthful items on the Backpacks’ food list: fruit cups, pasta, rice, beans, nuts, protein bars. Food can be brought to the church and placed in the collection box in the lobby.
