Sept 8th Monthly Program

On Monday, September 8th, the Pioneer Club will resume monthly programs and noon carry-in luncheons. 

We will once again have Pastor Amy Nyman share an interesting portrayal. This time she will be Suzanne Wesley, the mother of Charles and John Wesley. If that name sounds familiar to you, it may be from singing one of their many songs in our Lutheran hymnals.

Guests are always welcome. Perhaps you could invite one of your Methodist friends to hear about a person who left a big impression on that tradition. 

Please bring your table setting and a salad, meat dish, jello, dessert or other item. Beverage is provided.

Upcoming March Gathering

On Monday, March 10th, the Pioneer Club will welcome A Classic Chorale following the Noon carry-in luncheon. This group of 35—40 people from 30 Rockford churches will arrive about 12:30 to get set up. They will share some spirituals, gospel music, oldies, etc.

Please bring your table setting and a dish to pass; beverage will be provided. Guests are welcome! Hint….maybe someone will bring some St. Patrick’s Day decorations for the tables. Consider wearing something green ☺
