Summer Sunday School 
Our Summer Sunday School program will start the week following our end of year party -- June 7 -- and run through August 30. This year's program is "3 in 1: Discovering Our Triune God" from Concordia. The summer program is geared mainly for the PreK-K and grades 1-3 children, but older children are welcome to attend and help with the younger children, or they are encouraged to attend the Pastor's adult Bible study.

Weddings and Funerals can also be streamed, if requested in advance.

About This Mission Grant
The core of Phil’s Friends mission is based on Matthew 25:36, I was sick and you visited me. In the past 18 years, Phil’s Friends has sent nearly 60,000 care packages and more than one million Cards of Hope. This ministry supports anyone with cancer regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or income level. 

It costs $100 for one year to support a cancer patient. This total includes the care package, 12 Cards of Hope, and postage. The care packages are hand-decorated, and the contents are customized according to the age and gender of the recipient. They are filled with simple, practical comfort items that cancer patients can use during their treatments. Phil’s Friends is 100% donor supported.

Happy Easter! I can say that all through the Easter Season, which, as you probably know, lasts seven full weeks. How important it is that we greet one another often with words of reverent joy: “Alleluia! Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Alleluia!” 

On Easter Sunday I noticed a larger than usual attendance at worship. In fact, there was a couple I didn’t know sitting directly in front of me. I did my best to greet them. I politely asked their names and bid them “welcome.” As I looked around, I noticed other visitors and began to ponder: How well will these fellow travelers on life’s highway be received? I know the pastor will do his best, but who among our members will take the time to welcome them? Will they emerge from church with a favorable impression? Will they be inclined to return?

Multiply the Mission is more than a campaign… it’s an opportunity to help a place where faith grows, families connect, and lives are impacted through Christ.

From retreats and camps for all ages to Pioneer Fest and the many exciting things ahead, God is continuing to move through Pioneer on the Lake in incredible ways.

We invite you to watch, share, and help spread the word about what this mission is all about. Every share, every prayer, and every donation helps make these moments possible for so many.

Thank you for being part of what God is doing here at Pioneer. 🙌🏼
