If you'd like to add your name to the list, please email your contact information and the number of students you're willing to have to contact at RMESHomeAndSchool@gmail.com. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used for the RMES carpet upgrade project (90%) and Home & School activities (10%). If you’d like to make a general donation to this fundraiser, mark your tithe envelope RMES Bike-a-Thon.
You're Invited September 17 – 9:00 AM & 11:45 AM If it’s been a while since you had the joy of an on-site Lord’s Supper, if it’s been a while since you’ve
enjoyed the gathering of the Family for this power-filled symbol at Christ’s nail-scarred feet, if you wish to experience the supernatural cleansing and personal restoring that accompanies communal communion worship—then come and join your Savior and your friends on Sabbath, September 17.
“Chasing Jesus: Bathing in the Red River”—the conclusion to our September mini-series—will set the table for an unforgettable promise from the Lord at our Supper. “The Spirit says, ‘Come!’”
We Grieve With Three Families In the last few hours three of our Pioneer Family have died, and our hearts reach out to the families who are mourning. The family of Art Robertson (his wife Debi and their five sons) gathered with friends at Pioneer on Tuesday afternoon to celebrate his 78 years of active life. The parents of “HB” Smith (Harold and Jeannie, along with daughter/sister Charlotte) will gather
with their family and friends on Friday, 2:00 PM, at Pioneer to remember HB’s 40 energetic years on campus and in the community. And the Poole family is grieving the death of matriarch Alice (102) early Wednesday morning and will later gather for a private internment. Three families, three souls loved by Jesus, resting in Him, until His glorious return: “I am the resurrection and the life—these who believed in Me, though they have died, yet shall they live.”

Offering for September 17, 2022 Pioneer Operating Budget Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” We worship with our resources because we follow the example of our God, who is a Blind Giver. When God gives, He
rarely focuses on the nature of the recipients or even the outcome. He gives out of love. Faithful to this attribute, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matt. 5:45). Read More
