There is a long tradition of wearing the color red to celebrate Pentecost. Red symbolizes the Spirit who came like tongues of fire on the disciples in the upper room and who fills God’s church today with life and joy. You are invited to continue this tradition, if you would like, by wearing red on Sunday.

Other fundraising opportunities coming soon. CHIC (Covenant High in Christ) is the triennial conference for high school students in Covenant churches around the U.S. and Canada.
What is family camp? Many families say that their week at Mayflower Family Camp is a hybrid between a traditional New England summer camp and a fun filled, memory making family vacation. Mayflower Family Camp creates a unique oasis for adults and children alike. Parents can choose to participate in morning christian education time with outstanding speakers from across the country while their kids learn new skills, biblical lessons and share new experiences with their new friends and develop an appreciation for the friendship and God’s creation.
We also offer many outdoor recreational opportunities such as volleyball, bocce, tennis, basketball, a small 9 hole golf course, frog pond, lakefront, canoes & kayaks and some great play areas for kids. We are offering a discount on all Family Camp weeks! Call our office for details – 603.352.0443. www.pilgrimpines.org
