Hold the Presses: “Marriage” Is Coming!

He called marriage the “M” word, the late University of Chicago ethicist Don Browning: “‘It is often referred to as the “M” word, almost in the same category as other dirty words. Of course, it is not a dirty word, but it is a word that makes people uncomfortable as a topic of serious conversation’” (Marriage and Modernization: How Globalization Threatens Marriage and What to Do About It, p viii [quoted in Mark Regnerus, The Future of Christian Marriage p 4).

In Memory With Hope

On Sabbath, April 3, we will resume our annual Easter Sabbath Procession of Hope which was cancelled in 2020 due to the onset of the pandemic. If you would like to honor the memory of someone who has passed away, you are invited to bring a spring flower to place at the foot of the cross during the processional at either service.

Sharing Hope from Our Risen Savior

Everyone needs hope! Right?  And thanks to our awesome God, we can have the gift of hope through Jesus Christ. You can share the hope and joy of our risen Savior this Spring with new, free Spring sharing cards from LifeTalk Radio.

For the Love of an Animal

What do you say we shift gears for a few Sabbaths? Last fall it was “American Apocalypse.” This winter it was, “The Maker of All Things Loves and Wants Me.” But with springtime chomping at the bits to break out all over the land, let's celebrate the “Maker of all things” in the context of the wonderful little (and sometimes not so little) animals He has created for our blessing.

Foster Baskets for Berrien County

This spring, our Grow Groups ministry is leading a project to put together a gift basket for each active foster family in Berrien County (75 total). These families are meeting a very special need in our community, and Pioneer wants to support them in their love on the move.

Happy Anniversary

Although I don’t suppose “happy” is the appropriate adjective when you’re talking about the one-year anniversary of the Covid-19 lockdown in Michigan, at Andrews, and with the Pioneer Memorial Church. Twelve months ago—who can forget the warp speed with which leaders and people alike, faculty and students alike, all of us alike—very much alike in our foreboding uncertainty (outright fear, I’m sure, for some) of what was happening to our nation, our community, our congregation—we were all catapulted into the strange new world of “lockdown.”
