Belong Seeks Coats & Sweaters

 Do you have gently used coats and sweaters sitting unused in your closet? Belong would be happy to collect them to help our new international students prepare for the coming winter months. We'll collect these items on Sabbath, September 6th.

Welcoming All Seasons

Did you know that in the winter, Pioneer Memorial Church is heated by steam from the Andrews University power plant? This steam heats very hot water (around 130°F to 140°F), which circulates throughout the building to warm the air. In the summer, the church is cooled by chilled water from the AU power plant, which cools cold water (about 40°F) that then cools the air to keep us comfortable.

How Are We Driving?

Several years ago, a Michigander who had just pulled off the interstate (in Michigan) had stopped at the stop sign when suddenly a young fellow, messing with his phone, came barreling into her vehicle from behind. He rammed her and drove her into the path of an oncoming semi. The result was a broken neck and a whole lot of other injuries, which, as I understand, years later, she is still getting treatments for. Just in case you tend to mess with your phone when you’re driving, go online and see what the penalties are.

Faith, Footsteps, and Mountain Views

I love hiking. This week I get to see if I can summit at huge mountain. There’s nothing like starting a mountain climb, full of energy, snacks in your backpack, and the bold confidence. The first mile? Easy. By mile ten, you’re questioning your life choices. By mile fifteen, you’re making deals with God about never skipping leg day again.
