Make a Pilgrim's Promise

Clear, rust-free water flowing from a new well through new water lines. Three new cabin roofs. A new roof and a covered patio on the administration building. A paved road. All of these are at Pilgrim Hills, and all are complete and being used by camp visitors and staff.

There is just one thing left to do. Funds must be raised to pay for the work that has been done.

To accomplish this, the Ohio Conference Division for Outdoor Ministries has organized a capital campaign for Pilgrim Hills called A Pilgrim’s Promise. The cost of the improvements totaled about $325,000, and that will be the goal of the capital campaign.

The campaign will be officially launched at next summer’s Annual Gathering and will last until December 31, 2001. Pledges will be solicited for one-time contributions or for donations to be paid out over a period up to three years.

Think about Pilgrim Hills and the experiences that you or someone in your family or congregation have had walking the hills, relaxing beside Spirit Lake, playing in the pool, or singing around a campfire. Think about drawing closer to God’s creation; about the opportunities for growth and learning; and about the friendships that have been started or nurtured at a camp or retreat.

Then consider your part in making Pilgrim Hills a beautiful, safe, comfortable place to be. Your help is needed. For information or to make a pledge or donation, contact Cynthia Speller at 800-282-0740 or 614-885-0722.
