Pioneer is offering a full slate of events this summer, including special week-long camps, retreats, weekly car cruises, Sunday worship services, VBS, and much more. Their annual PIONEER FEST will be held on July 19. Pioneer offers various accommodations available to rent, including five premier cottages with central air and furnaces.

SPRING MISSION PROJECT: Tables are available in the narthex and chapel for donations of baby items to support SUMMIT LIFE CENTER in Niagara Falls. Summit supports young women and men facing unplanned pregnancies with free services, including counseling, parenting classes, support groups, and community assistance referrals.

If you would like to donate these items, we will continue to accept your gifts through Father’s Day, June 21. If you prefer, there are also BABY BOTTLE BANKS available on the tables that can be used to donate your change to Summit.
PICNIC SIGN UP: Our annual congregational picnic will be held after worship on June 14. All members and friends are invited to join in the celebration of another successful year of Bible studies and Sunday School. Hotdogs, hamburgs, and drinks will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share if you are able. SIGN THE SHEET in the narthex or chapel by June 7 if you plan to attend so that we will know how much meat to purchase.
