Minister's Week at Pilgrim Point Camp

Pilgrim Point loves ministers of all kinds!!

August 9 - 14

Unfortunately clergy camp had to be cancelled but ministers of all kinds are still very much welcome to our, now empty week, at Pilgrim Point Camp. Ordained, Licensed, Commissioned, Seminarians, CE director, Youth Leader, and your significant others, your family, bring them all for one day or for six. This will be a time to relax, reflect and renew. There will be no keynoter, just all of us sharing our stories (or not), sharing our gifts (or not) attending discussions (or not).

Bob Griggs, interim minister at our churches in Bertha and Wadena will be sharing his concern for clergy self care after twice experiencing hospitalization for depression and anxiety. Bob will share his journey into depression and through depression to a renewed faith.

Dee Dressler, Managing Director at Pilgrim Point Camp will share inspiring stories of her 50 year journey to accept finally accept her gender transition and all the love and support and struggles along the way.

If you have a story to tell, please don’t keep it to yourself. Contact Dee  or Bob  with your topic to set up a time for you to share at this new event for ministers of all kinds of the Minnesota Conference. A schedule of topics will be published on the Pilgrim Point Web site as soon as we have folks lined up to lead. If you don’t feel the need to lead a topic, please just come and enjoy time by the lakeshore at YOUR Pilgrim Point Camp.

Also, please let Dee (320) 241-1394 know what days you will be here and how many people you will be bringing with you. The cost for this event is about as low as we can go to encourage as many ministry folks as possible to take advantage of this empty week at Pilgrim Point Camp. We’ll be honest, we have and ulterior motive, we want you to come and experience this beautiful, healing place so you’ll share it with others back in your setting. And yes, some of us will talk about how everyone needs to send youth and come to camp themselves.
