This Easter Whose Side Is He On?

In a world already irreparably fractured, Russia’s attacks on Ukraine over the last one month and three weeks—chronicled across the earth through live video feeds—have diminished any hope of global healing. 

And yet many, who regard the pope as the most widely recognized religious leader in the world, harbor the hope Pope Francis might even yet this Easter spark a miracle of peace for the war in Ukraine, or at least a ceasefire.

Build-a-Bed Project Recap

On Sunday, April 10, Pioneer partnered with "Sleep in Heavenly Peace" to build and deliver 41 beds for children in need. Check out some of the photos of those hard at work, and our news story on WNDU-TV.

Grow Groups in the News

One of our Wednesday evening Grow Groups coordinated a project to raise money for the new Oronoko Township trails and park being built behind the Public Safety building. The group raised $1,200 and was featured in the Journal Era, a local newspaper. In the same issue there is another story about a new sidewalk the group supported at the Berrien Springs Public Library – their project last semester. Pioneer is grateful to be able to support our community through Grow Groups. Interested in leading or joining a Grow Group, visit pmchurch.org/grow to learn more.

Foster Families Needed

Is your mission to God's calling, to open your home to a foster teen or a sibling group or maybe a medically fragile child or baby? Berrien County has a need for foster families - especially for these specific groups. Is this your "here am I send me" calling? For more information contact God's Hands 4 Kids at GH4K.org

The Advent of Economic Embargoes

The conflagration they are calling the Russia-Ukraine war (now five weeks long) has introduced to global humanity the power of a united economic embargo. Simply put—what we are witnessing is the strategic punitive enforcement of no-buy/no-sell prohibitions slapped on a nation-state and its leaders, deemed by global powers to be out of harmony with the group-think of the enforcing alliance(s). 

For the sake of argument consider for a moment these economic embargoes levied against Russia and some of its leaders.

Sign Me Up! This Spring

Have you noticed? Life doesn’t always happen this dreadfully slow (the waning pandemic) or this dangerously fast (the Russia-Ukraine war)—but life keeps happening. And so to celebrate the good-news, upside of life this springtime comes a new worship series—“Sign Me Up!”—a fresh invitation to find new life in volunteer service.
