"Through His Eyes"
PRESCOTT KHAIR
Godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but the sorrow of the world produces death - 2 Corinthians 7:10
Springtime across the wider Christian world celebrates the story of past mistakes being covered over by Jesus’ blood. The sacrificial, atonement Jesus made on the cross stands as a testament to the truly amazing nature of grace. A grace that is so deep, so wide, so rich, so beautiful that it can cover every sin inside never to be seen again. There truly is something amazing about grace that is extended to sinners like you and I.
Update #11 Renovate 2.0
The fundraising is almost completed! The Pioneer Memorial Church members and community have demonstrated their commitment to “Love On The Move”. The sacrificial giving for this improvement is inspiring to those who are using the elevator (and the other improvements) and to the Pastoral staff and Stewardship Committee. There is only $37,767 to raise! Thank you so much! Let us press forward to complete Renovate 2.0!

Lebanon Mission Update
This week the Pioneer Youth Missions team has been conducting the week of prayer on two campuses in Beirut, Lebanon. They are sharing the theme "Faces Around the Cross" with students at Middle East University and Adventist secondary school in nearby Bouchrieh. The team has presented 4 chapel services a day, starting at 7:30 a.m. The 11-member team of Andrews students and Pioneer members has been learning a lot as they serve in this challenging mission field. Your prayers and support of Pioneer Youth Missions are indispensable.

Michigan Advance Partners
In early 2020 the McMillan Northwoods church began considering how they might reach into the community and also have a way to draw the community in. They wanted to begin having a bigger footprint in their district. As the world began to shutdown, due to the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic, the desire to have a stronger digital presence and the need for equipment to present, prepare, and distribute digital media became stronger.
