Easter Lilies for Home Visitation Members

April 19

Let's show our home-bound and assisted living members that we haven't forgotten them. On Sabbath afternoon, April 19, we will be delivering Easter lilies to them. This task only takes a few minutes, but a flower and a prayer can bring a smile to their faces every time they see it. We will provide you with a card that includes their name and address.

Request to Sabbath School Class Teacher/Coordinator

If you are a teacher/coordinator of a Sabbath School class that meets outside the Pioneer sanctuary, you are requested to inform your name, location and meeting time. This information will help to create a master list to assist visitors and members. Please email your response to Melchizedek Ponniah at melponniah@gmail.com.

Pioneer Operating Budget

Charles Schwab, Bank of America, and Fidelity are among many financial institutions that provide financial advisers to help people invest their money to prepare for retirement. Christ gave solid investment advice, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV).
