The Junior High students from Ruth Murdoch Elementary School will hold The Tent meetings on Friday, May 13 through 22, 2022. Meetings take place every night, except Tuesday. We invite you to support our kids by watching and invite a friend or family member to watch too, so they can get to know Jesus better.

Meals for Moms
Pioneer’s Preschool Pray & Play group provides families who are welcoming new children into their homes (by birth, adoption, foster care, etc.) with meals. You don't need to cook to help out! We're in need of people who can:
- make and deliver meals
- order take-out and deliver it
- help us identify families who are expecting new children
As we get more volunteers, we're hoping to expand this ministry to help families identify the many rich resources available to them at Pioneer and in our community. We want to be the hands of Jesus to new parents and their kids in as families grow.
To volunteer text MOMMEALS to 269-281-2345 or register at https://churchteams.com/m/Register.asp?a=SUpHc1V4UkVra2M9
For more information, email prayandplay@pmchurch.org
Fellowhip Dinners Resume May 21
Pioneer will resume our member fellowship dinners in the PMC Commons Sabbath, May 21, at 1:15 PM. Invited members will receive an email invitation. If you did not receive an invitation, but would like to join, you are more than welcome. Just bring a dish to share and join the fellowship.
Join Our Prayer Team
If you enjoy praying for others, you’re invited to join one of our prayer teams which meet in person at the church during either the first or second service. Teams will rotate on a scheduled basis. A monitor in the prayer room allows the teams to listen to
the congregational prayer and the sermon. For more information, text PRAY to 269-281-2345.
Summer Grow Group Leaders Wanted!
Summer is almost here, and with it comes a great opportunity to lead a Grow Group! The summer session is a fantastic time to take advantage of the best weather Michigan has to offer by leading outdoor activity groups, or taking any type of group outside for some fresh air and sunshine!
Grow Groups are Pioneer’s small groups, led by individuals who are committed to discipleship, mentorship, & the 5 S’s: Shared interest, Spiritual touchpoint, Service project, Social event, Semester-based. Grow Groups are for EVERYONE—church members and nonmembers, locals and non-locals alike are welcome to join.
Traffic Volunteers Needed
We are in need for additional volunteers for Pioneer's Traffic Ministry. The weather outside is getting warmer and this would be a great opportunity for you to show your kindness, caring, and smiles to everyone who enters our church doors for Sabbath worship. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Darryl at legoh@andrews.edu or text 732-379-1300. Thank you.
