Prayer Promise

Feed the Need

November 18

As we enter this season of American Thanksgiving it is important to remember that not everyone in our community is as fortunate. Every year through your generosity we provide Thanksgiving food bags or boxes to 100-150 families in our community. The Evergreen Pathfinder Club spearheads this work however they cannot do it alone. Here are four ways you can help.

• Submit names of area families who we can bless with some extra food this Holiday Season by calling the church office at 269.471.6565 with the name, address, and number of people in the family.
• Bring non-perishable food to contribute during the Procession of Thanksgiving during this Sabbath's Feast of Hymns church service.
• Financial Donations can be given this Sabbath to cover the cost of providing each family with perishable food from Apple Valley.
• Volunteer to deliver food to area Families after the boxes are packed by the Pathfinders this Sabbath. 

Thank you for your generosity as we take this opportunity to help those around us.

Update #10 for Renovate 2.0

The elevator and other improvements are done. It’s all being used on a daily basis to improve the experience here at Pioneer Memorial Church. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for this project and its physical completion. The fundraising for its financial completion is going very well. We have just $195,959 left to raise! (Look for the fundraising “thermometer” somewhere in the church each week!) Please consider how this project fits into your contribution plans for the rest of the year!

Adopt-a-Student

Winter is coming and for many of our students, these are the hardest months to get through without their families. You can help create a home away from home by joining our BELONG Ministries Adopt-a-Student program. You'll build meaningful connections by hosting the student for a home-cooked meal, surprising them with their favorite treats, and reminding them that they've been prayed for. The time commitment is at your discretion. If interested in joining this program please visit the link below!

Thanksgiving Baskets

Did you know that 30% of our students are facing hunger on our campus? BELONG Ministries is partnering with CFE and other campus ministries to begin bridging the gap of hunger on campus. You can be a part of this initiative by providing a Thanksgiving basket full of microwavable foods and treats. If interested in donating a Thanksgiving basket we'll provide a list, please sign up by visiting the link below!

Pioneer Operating Budget

At grocery store check-out lines, you’ll find an array of items for impulse buying. They hope you will add additional items to your cart while you wait in line. The same thing happens with online purchasing. When you select something, you see other items like what you’re purchasing and a little button called “click here” will add them to your virtual shopping cart. How many times have you purchased more than you intended simply because of impulse shopping?! Me too!
