6th Graders Lead Out in RMES Week of Prayer 1 Timothy 4:12-” Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” If you spent any time at Ruth Murdoch Elementary School during the week of February 14th-18th, you would have heard this text throughout the school.
Before Thanksgiving, the sixth graders started preparing to lead out Week of Prayer for the Kindergarten-5th graders. Pretty much every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, many of the 6th-grade students went to a special class with Pastor Ben Martin to prepare the lead speaking parts for the week of prayer. Read more

Village of Berrien Springs Spring Spruce-Up April 3 On Sunday, April 3, 2022, from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM the Village of Berrien Springs is organizing a Spring Spruce-Up to help members of our community
clean up their yards. Let’s get out and be Love on the Move for some of our neighbors who aren’t quite able to keep up with yard work. If you’d like to join Pioneer’s Spruce-Up team of volunteers, register here or text SPRUCE at 269.281.2345.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace Building Project This spring, Pioneer Grow Groups will be partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build and deliver beds for local children in need.
Right now we’re looking for volunteers who are interested in building and/or delivering beds on April 10, 2022. Our plan is to build beds in the morning, from 9 a.m.-noon, and deliver them in the afternoon from 1-4 p.m., so we’ll need some help!
We’re also looking for donors, so we can purchase the building materials and bedding we’ll need. Each complete bed costs $250, and our goal is to provide 30 beds to kids in our community. We’re more than two-thirds of the way to our goal so far, but time is getting short, so please prayerfully support in any way you can.
For more information, to donate, or to volunteer text BEDS to 269-281-2345 or pmchurch.org/beds
Join us as we practice being Love on the Move in our community!
ADRA Relief for Ukraine The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), in partnership with the Adventist Church, is responding to directly support over five million refugees from Ukraine—including women, children, and people who are disabled. Tens of thousands of children and families have crossed Ukraine's border seeking safety. Those numbers could rise as the days progress. Your donations will help us to meet the refugees' daily needs. Because if not you, then who? Join in giving today at ADRA.org/PartnerWithUs.
Please Pray for "Return to Palau" Last week our team headed to the Republic of Palau (a small archipelago nation of 340 islands—southeast of Guam and west of the Philippines—population 18,000+). Its president, Surangel Whipps, Jr., is an active Seventh-day Adventist and has assisted Ann Hamel, psychologist and team leader for this mission, as she and the team have planned for the world premier of the documentary “Return to Palau” on Wednesday, March 16, 7:00 PM (13 hours ahead of EST) in
Koror. Please pray the Spirit of Jesus will ignite this public moment of remembrance. Young Melissa Gibson, now a nursing professor at Southwestern Adventist University, along with her husband Michael, one of the pastors of the campus church, will be part of the premier event. For three evenings following the showing, my assignment is to preach in the convention center the forgiveness all can find in Christ our Lord. Join us in earnestly praying that out of this unspeakable heartache, God will—as only He can—turn such terrible loss into an eternal harvest for His Kingdom.
Offering for March 19, 2022 Pioneer Operating Budget Psalms 18:2 “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.”
We worship God with our resources because He is our sure Deliverer. From his anointing when he was around 15 until his old age, King David had a long and perilous journey through many dangers. To name a few: there were the lions and the bears, Goliath—the giant, Saul—the envious king, and Absalom—the overly ambitious son. For keeping him safe, David burst into praises, worshiping God as the Rock, the Fortress, and Deliverer. Read More
