"I know God is ever present here, and I feel I am always with him."
"I feel like I see God just everywhere now - in nature. It's such a sacred place here ... It's changed also the way I feel about myself because I know now how special I am as one of God's children...and it's changed me."
"I love this place - I love this place so much."
- Quotes from Sr. High campers, 2011
Dear Friend of Pilgrim Lodge,
What a great summer we just had! Pilgrim Lodge's 2011 program was exciting and fun. Together, hundreds of campers, counselors, deans and staff wove a tapestry of faith development and worship on the shores of Cobbosseecontee and Moosehead Lakes!
We are writing to thank you for your support and participation in the past, and to ask for your help in keeping this ministry alive. Your donation will help us maintain our vintage buildings, keep our plumbing in repair, and replace boards on our boardwalk. It will help us provide materials for our programs, pay our summer and year-round staff, supply our health center and just keep the lights on. Over the past few years we have struggled to keep the costs for our campers as low as possible. Your donation will help us keep our camp tuitions affordable.
This is an exciting positive ministry and we hope your family will see fit to help out by donating, through your financial contribution. Enclosed is an envelope for our 2011 annual appeal. Your contribution helps make this ministry possible. If you wish, you can make your gift with a credit or debit card online at
www.PilgrimLodge.org/donate (be sure to write "Pilgrim Lodge" in the designation box). Your gift is tax deductible.
The Outdoor Ministry Committee is hard at work preparing the 2012 season. A schedule will be posted on our website early in the New Year. As always we're trying out new programs. Please check to see if any of them look exciting to you!
Thank you in advance for considering this request,
Sincerely,
Outdoor Ministries, Maine Conference UCC
