District Budget Emphasis

We are down to the last few weeks of the Conference Year.  This is the time to make sure that fulfilling district obligations will take place.  The reality is that our Michigan economy is taking a toll on local church finances, and transferred to district budget payments.  Thank you for your commitment to making sure that your budget assessment is paid in full.

 

 

 

CAMPING YEAR PREPARATION

 

This is the time to schedule work time along with planning on spending some vacation time at Whispering Pines.  Memorial weekend marks the beginning of district ministries with Trailblazer's Retreat, Youth Camp 180 in June, Family Camp and Kid's Camp in July, Couples Retreat on Labor Day weekend and Wesleyan Men's Retreat in September.  The new number for Family Camp Registrar Ken Wyman is 231-557-5179

 

Your church or family can schedule a camping event separate from the district camping events by contacting VJ Scarbrough at 231-834-5336.  Support YOUR Whispering Pines Camp & Conference Center by using the facilities as much as possible starting in May through October.

 

50/50 Camp Club - Whispering Pines Camp and Conference Center participation in keeping the campgrounds in good condition and providing funds for new projects comes through a minimum donation of $100 per year.  The Annual 50/50 Camp club banquet will be July 5, 2008 at the campgrounds dining facility.  A great meal, a great time, a great cause for a great place, your Whispering Pines Wesleyan Camp and Conference Center.  Send your $100 or more to Rev. Joe Ruder, 229 S. Riverside, Hart, MI  49420-1077
