"Tiptoeing Through Life"Shane Claiborne, the young and radical Christian activist, popular particularly among millennials, made an observation that is worth pondering: "I am convinced that if we lose kids to the culture of drugs and materialism, of violence and war, it's because we don't dare them, not because we don't entertain them.

Heart Stories: A Celebration of Praise, Testimonies, and PrayerCome March 17 and be inspired at either worship service with something new at Pioneer—a Sabbath morning worship service devoted entirely to spirited praise, live testimonies and interviews, and collective prayer. For months we have shared a conversation about the daily baptism of the Holy Spirit and His call to love, acceptance and forgiveness. Now let’s share the “heart stories” as we prepare for God’s "next steps."
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So tell us something about yourself and show us who is close to your heart through a picture. The picture can be recent, something from a long time ago, or your immediate family, or a friend that is closer than a brother or sister. Please include a high-resolution picture or scanned picture with a line or two indicating the location, the year, and who is in the picture. This picture captures a part of your story, and your story is a part of this church family. Let's Heart Our Family. We will share your picture story during our slideshow at church and PMC Social Media feeds.
