American Apocalypse: 'What Is Past Is Prologue'

Local Church Budget (Renovate)

You’ve seen the Renovate signs and other announcements. If you are new to Pioneer, you may wonder what it’s all about.  The sanctuary you currently see at Pioneer is significantly different than it was before the renovations began during the summer of 2019. There is a new roof which doesn’t leak all over the organ and some other things. You can now hear the sermon no matter where you sit in the auditorium and the seats are cushioned.

These items are just the beginning of the list of things that have changed and, if you are not new, you know that all these changes were desperately needed.

So the question could arise, “Is it paid for?” Amazingly the answer is that we are getting very close.  As of the end of September we only owe about $468,294. If every attendee and member would make a special effort and give generously before the end of the year we could have a celebration and totally retire the debt and get on with other things that need our focus. If you have given faithfully over time or if you have not yet contributed, this is an opportunity to see what we can do together to put this project behind us.

Please consider partnering with so many others to complete the funding of this most worthy update to Pioneer Memorial Church.

Pioneer Memorial Church and the Center for Faith Engagement are partnering with Paris' Purse to sponsor a jean drive. On November 6, during either church service, you're invited to bring in a pair of jeans. Your jeans will be given a second life by helping a woman in need. They can be jeans for men or women. We'll have donation bins by the entrance awning, the welcome center in the children's wing, and the narthex. If you forget to bring in jeans on that day, you can also bring them to the Center for Faith Engagement. You can also give a financial donation to Paris' Purse (501c3) at www.parispurseinc.com
