But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

—Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)

Heading in the right direction…but not there yet

Thank you so much to anyone who’s donated to the Heifer International fundraiser at Pilgrim Church this fall. It’s only October, and we’re already approaching the halfway point of our goal of $5000.00 to build an Ark for Heifer. We’ve crested the $2000 mark, which seems worth taking a breath to celebrate. Great job everyone! The ark and some painted animals will be joining us on the Pilgrim Church lawn to spread the good news.

If you haven’t given…have you heard why this is so important to us and to the kids of Pilgrim?

We love helping others, and giving them the means to help themselves!

A gift to Heifer International is a gift to people around the world in need of food…and the means to make and buy even more. Sometimes our needs are meant simply, like with a single meal shared. But other times, we need to network and find ways to keep food and money coming.

Heifer International is all about that: they love empowering folks to keep on making more food. A chicken provides eggs. Sheep provide wool. A cow gives milk and cheese and so much more. It’s a big deal to be able to provide for yourself and others. Heifer has been doing this sustaining work since 1944, now eighty years strong!
