Dear Pioneer Family,

Thank you for your prayers, cards and concerns at the time of the passing of my (Ruth's) sister Marietta Deming in early November. Philip and I will go to Arizona this week to complete the tasks needs to prepare her home to be sold. Her home church will have a service for her when we are there. Thank you also for the cyclamen plant that Pastor Glass delivered when I was gone the first time. We look forward to the Golden Morning when Jesus will come.

–Ruth, Ray & Philip Roberts

The family of Dr. Steven Tarangle wish him a very happy 98th birthday on December 28!

Please find included in this email our Volunteer Engagement Committee report for our second reading. We will be voting this report this coming Saturday in both our worship services. We thank those who have committed their service for the next 2 years as well as the Committee for their exceptional job under extraordinary circumstances for a job well done.
—David Nowack, Co-chair

Thank you for giving purposefully, faithfully, and joyfully! If you have been giving on Adventist Giving Online, please help us by creating and then signing in to your account each time you give. It helps us better when you sign to give in rather than when you give as a guest. 

We appreciate your gifts and thank you for your faithfulness.

At Neighbor to Neighbor, we've had a whirlwind year. Our brand new Thrift Store enjoyed a successful opening at the beginning of November, thanks to our dedicated volunteers and wonderful patrons. Sunday, November 22nd, was poised to be our grand dedication service. Restrictions on indoor gatherings had just been issued, so sadly the event was not as grand as initially anticipated.

 Armed Forces Day is a National holiday to thank the men and women of the 5 branches United States Armed Forces. First conceived by President Harry S. Truman, the holiday was established in 1949 due to the recent unification of all military branches under the Department of Defense. Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of every May, this year falling on May 15. We ask that you pass along our Church's greetings to any Service People in your family and offer special prayer that God will "give His angels charge over (them) to keep them in all (their) ways" (Ps 91:11). 

Greetings Ladies,

Here we are, at another Christmas season. However, this 2020 Christmas is not like any other Christmas before. Did you notice that the lights and decorations are going up earlier this year? It seems that many people are tired of the gloom and discouragement this pandemic has caused. 

For your safety, Pioneer's Earliteen and Youth Sabbath morning programs are now meeting virtually, until further notice. Join the Earliteen Sabbath School via Zoom, and Elevate - Youth Sabbath School via YouTube. Meet you there!
