Grow Groups Leaders Wanted
Our next Season of Grow Groups is coming soon. If you have an idea for a
small group we'd love to support your ministry. We are looking for activity,
study, food, and fun groups. These are great ways to experience church outside
of our church service. If you are interested please fill out the form below.
Fellowship Dinner
December 16
There will be a fellowship dinner, following the second worship service in the commons on the lower level.
Update #10 for Renovate 2.0
The elevator and other improvements are done. It’s all being used daily 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 $150,848 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!
Adopt-a-Student
Winter is coming and for many of our students, these are the hardest months to get through without their families. You can help create a home away from home by joining our BELONG Ministries Adopt-a-Student program. You'll build meaningful connections by hosting the student for a home-cooked meal, surprising them with their favorite treats, and reminding them that they've been prayed for. The time
commitment is at your discretion. If interested in joining this program, please click the link below.
Something in Common presents the
Love and Respect video series
with Dr. Emerson Eggerich
The Series continues each Sabbath through December 16. Come join us in Pioneer Room 141 each Sabbath morning from 10:30-11:30.
Give to Pantry Fund
This year Neighbor To Neighbor has been challenged to keep their pantry fully stocked. Thanks to a combination of inflation, supply-chain disruptions, and economically related issues, food prices have steadily risen since 2020. In full transparency, there is funding available. However, it comes with strings attached and both the board and the conference support N2N’s decision to abstain from applying for this funding. At the end of November 2023, we have served almost 6,000 persons with food and many other resources. As the year comes to an end, we are asking you to give a generous financial donation to our pantry fund, to help us provide essential food items for the families in our community. Your donation will make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Offering for December 16, 2023
Adventist Community Services
The Christmas story of Christ’s birth in a stable includes visits by local shepherds and Wise Men from far away. The shepherds, although the low-class people of Bethlehem, played a vital role for God’s people. Jerusalem, located only five miles (eight kilometers) from Bethlehem, needed “spotless lambs” for daily sacrifices and many more during festivals like the Passover.
