Prayer Promise

Spirit, People, Ideas, Place

The Church is many things: Spirit, People, Ideas, Place. Each is interconnected with the others to create worship and fellowship. Over the last year or so, Pioneer Memorial Church experienced significant changes in People and Place. While other blogs may elaborate on the changes in People, this blog focuses on Place; This Place—Pioneer. Specifically, Renovate 2.0. Renovate 2.0 focuses on the expansion of a full-size elevator for access to the Sanctuary by movement-challenged worshipers.

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.

Pioneer Operating Budget

Happy Thanksgiving! You might think I’m a bit confused. In Canada, Thanksgiving was the second Monday of October—the 9th. In the United States, it won’t be until next month—the fourth Thursday in November, which will be the 23rd. Why say, “Happy Thanksgiving” today? Of course, any day can be Thanksgiving.
