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 $209,771 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!
Pathfinder Fundraiser
Pioneer's Evergreen Pathfinder Club invites you to support their participation in the upcoming International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, Wyoming, August 5-11, 2024. To raise the needed funds, they are partnering with Florida Indian River Groves to bring you fresh fruit. Fruit is harvested the very same day it ships to ensure that you receive fruit that is hours off of the tree. Now that's fresh! Now's the time to pick up a box of Navel Oranges that are sure to be bursting with flavor or a box of sugar-sweet, Indian River Red Grapefruit. And don't forget your friends, family, and coworkers. Everyone loves fresh fruit from Florida, and you'll be supporting our Pathfinder club at the same time!
Quick Facts:
- Each Pathfinder must raise $750.
- Pioneer has approximately 100 Pathfinders in its club.
- You can help cut the individual costs for our club by starting an order today!
Please spread the word by sharing our website pmchurch.org/pathfinders.
Thank you in advance for your support - and enjoy the fresh fruit!
Order Deadline: Thursday, November 10, 2022
If you miss the deadline for ordering fruit, you can also give directly to the Evergreen Pathfinder Club. Select "Pathfinder Camporee" from the "Local Offering" categories.
