Thank You Kelsey and Jon Shears!
|
|
For the past year Kelsey & Jon Shears have served with us at Pilgrim Pines. Kelsey has a long history with us as she started on summer staff in 2010 and has come back year after year to serve. In October they embarked on a new adventure called the World Race. They will be serving in 11 countries in 11 months. We miss them tremendously, but we know that God has great things in store for them as they set out on this new adventure. Please remember them in you prayers.

Product and Service Donation
Imagine owning a home with hundreds of beds, 96 toilets, multiple electronics, multiple wifi locations, a fleet of vehicles, power equipment, etc.
As you can imagine it takes lots to keep the place going.
Pilgrim Pines is always looking for more partners in its ministry. If you are interested in partnering with us, there are several ways you can contribute. Take a look at our
product & services page
for ways you can help.
Our hope is that you will continue to faithfully walk with us as you have in the past. So, we are asking you to please consider joining us on this journey with your gifts of talent, time, and treasure.

Pilgrim Pines welcomes volunteers all year long
Whether you come by yourself, with your family or through a church group. We are blessed by volunteers who help in the kitchen, serve as weekend hosts, assist in the Mayflower office and work on maintenance projects.
We can really use some volunteer help now and into the fall as we are clearing some areas of overgrowth in the camping area.
Your church may even be interested in our "
Adopt-a-Cabin" program. When a church adopts a cabin they commit to an annual donation toward its maintenance and often send a volunteer group to specifically tend to their cabin's needs. Contact
Jim Condap
if your or your church are interested in volunteering or the Adopt-a-Cabin program.
