Fellowship Dinner There is no fellowship dinner on February 17, this upcoming Sabbath. ———— Pioneer’s fellowship dinner ministry is alive and well. There are currently 11 teams sharing the responsibility of hosting the dinners throughout the year. However, the
ministry needs more teams as well as individuals who are willing to join the current teams. If you are a part of a small group or Sabbath School class that is not currently active in this important ministry, please consider becoming involved. The
commitment is not great. Current teams serve from two to four times a year.
If you would like to join a currently active team, let us know and you will
directed to a team. For more information, or to volunteer, text 269-281-2345,
and enter "FELLOWSHIP DINNER". You will be able to enter your contact information there, and we will be in contact with you.
