Pathfinder Fruit 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. They are partnering with Florida Indian River Groves to raise the needed funds 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 $950.
• 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: Friday, November 17, 2022

If you miss the deadline for ordering fruit, you can also give directly to the Evergreen Pathfinder Club. Select "PMC Pathfinder Club" from the "Local Offering" categories.

 Andrews Academy Feast of Lights 2022

December 9, 7:00 PM
Pioneer Memorial Church

Join us on Friday evening, December 9, and be inspired by a program of music, Scripture readings, and drama honoring the King of Kings. Feast of Lights—now in it's 49th year—is the Christmas musical gift from Andrews Academy to the Berrien Springs community and beyond. It is an evening of instrumental music, bells, choral and congregational singing, lights, and a Nativity scene. Experience with us the joyful retelling of the Christmas story: beginning with the humble incarnation of the long-expected Messiah, and culminating with the Lord of Lords receiving "the kingdoms of this world" and our universal expression of praise: "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.... and He shall reign for ever and ever (Revelation 19: 6, 11:15)."

Offering for November 19, 2022

Pioneer Operating Budget

Lamentation 3:22-23-"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." We worship God through regular giving in response to the abundance and regularity of His care. While going through trials, griefs, and humiliations, the prophet Jeremiah uses the plural form to speak about God’s compassion and mercies. He was the recipient of God’s covenant, love, grace, goodness, kindness, compassion, and much more. Besides being multifaceted, God’s manifestation amid Jeremiah’s crisis was daily and regular, not occasional. He did not have to choose between a huge blessing once in a while or daily miracles. God provided for both. Israel responded to God’s regularity by adopting a regular pattern of worship and giving.
