Merry Christmas from Pilgrim Point!

(See more camp photos from 2015 on the Pilgrim Point Facebook page)

We are blessed to have you as a partner in ministry at Pilgrim Point Camps & Retreats! This past season we welcomed more than 1,900 individuals to Pilgrim Point – significantly more than the ~700 that were welcomed only five years ago in 2010. Without individual contributors, who help to uphold numerous vital ministries at Pilgrim Point every year, we could never have ensured so many people the chance to experience and enjoy Pilgrim Point. Together, we are changing lives. Parishioners, families, clergy, youth, and leaders of all ages can attend camps and retreats that work towards meeting the strategic priorities of the Minnesota Conference.

We hope you consider making a year-end donation to help us continue this vital ministry:

Many thanks to the generosity of our friends!

May you have a Blessed Christmas and a Joyful New Year!
