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. 

This retreat and workshop is designed for the local church leaders. This will take place on April 22–24 at Camp Au Sable in Grayling, MI. Discover more about the roles of Elders, Deacons, and Deaconesses. Visit www.misda.org/clw for more information.

 On Sunday, April 3, 2022, from 11 AM - 2 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, text SPRUCE to 269-281-2345.

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 AM-noon,  and deliver them in the afternoon from 1-4 PM, 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.

If you are a primary caregiver of another person and feel a need to replenish your resources we have a personal resource for you. Thursday evening at 6-7 PM at Neighbor to Neighbor (west entrance) Caregivers Support Group meets. You are invited to come and receive encouragement and refreshment. Moderators are Don and Sue Murray.

The Pioneer Safety Committee continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and respond accordingly at each Community Risk Level determined by the CDC's February 25, 2022 algorithm.  God has kept us all safe and we want to continue to do our part.

Anyone interested in learning more about fostering or adopting or anyone wanting to be involved in providing support for these families is welcome to also attend. Also welcome is anyone interested in that night's presentation. A family meal and fun time activities for kids of all ages is provided. The next event will be March 10, at 5:30 PM.
