A Letter from the Rector
My Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is hard to believe that the time for NCPP # 138 is nearly here! This has been the most wonder-filled journey of my life. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Eastern Council for putting its faith and trust in me as the rector for #138. I attended NCPP # 37 in March of 2000 and have been involved in the Pilgrim-age movement ever since. I have served on many teams, created 16 weekend logos, and gone to numerous serenades across the state. With every experience, God and others were mentoring me along the way so that I could accept the calling of rector. I am incredibly humbled and beyond blessed. I also would like to thank the 4th Day Community for their continued prayers and support as I embarked on this journey over a year ago and for those who are still praying now and as we go through the weekend. My verse is from 2 Corinthians 2:15: “We are to be the sweet fragrance of Christ to God.” Just as we have Christ light, we have Christ’s sweet aroma when we walk into a room. They will know we are Christians by our love, light, and fragrance. No words are neces-sary. God has arranged the most fragrant flowers in His bouquet for this weekend. The amazing team of # 138 has meshed so quickly even though we had only two meetings due to inclement weather. All who are serving are committed and intentional about their posi-tions and their fellow chas. We are One Body in Christ. We have a blend of longevity of years in experience and the freshness of new energy from recent pilgrims. The mixture is invigorating and truly “a sweet fragrance of Christ”! I pray that you, the 4th Day, will become a part of the week-end by signing up for the Prayer Banner and joining us for Send-Off, Serenade, and the Closing Ceremony. Please also mark your calen-dars for April 9, 2016 at 5:30 pm at Highland Presbyterian Church, Fayetteville, for Ultreya, as we gather to welcome our newest group of Pilgrims into the 4th Day Family! God loves you and so do I, Becky Lee

Serenade: March 12 Camp Dixie
For many guests serenade is one of the events that will be cherish most after the week-end. Serenade is Saturday night at 5:30 pm. We will meet in the gym past the playground on the left from camp. We will eat; then practice with the band, serenade the guests and team, then leave for home. Remember to wear your crosses and name tags. Please remember that serenade is not the time for hugging, talking to, touching or show-ing special attention to individual guests or team.
Let God’s Loving Light Shine
in our Eyes and Smiles!

A Message from Our Council Moderator
Service: a Sweet Fragrance
Wow, I am flying high after our last team meeting and am excited to serve on this weekend. It is difficult not to antici-
pate as I haven’t been on a team in a while and am ready to be back at Dixie. I have been serving for Christ in many
other ways, sometimes through my church, sometimes in my community, sometimes in foreign lands, and sometimes
in the background for Pilgrimage.
How are you serving Christ? I confidently know your resume abundantly reflects your many activities. Each and every
way you love your neighbor and share his love is known by the Father and is appreciated when his grace is displayed.
I would like to offer more opportunities for service to fill in those gaps in your schedules (hahaha).
You may have heard that over 500 people assist us with each weekend. Something awesome must be happening that
God would call so many to service. We want more of the 4th Day to participate, so consider some of these sweet fra-
grances.
Sponsoring: We need guests who are faithful Christians seeking more, are at the right point in their lives for under-
standing the depth of God’s Grace, are prepared for the uncomfortableness of some of the activities, and are called
by God.
Palanca: Gifts are one of the 5 Love Languages and are highly effective on the weekend by filling up every moment
and possible way to show love. These little gifts also kindle wonderful memories long after a weekend.
Prayer Banner: We all know this one. Prayer is the most essential part of a weekend. We have lots of time slots
available.
Team Meetings: Logistics, meals, and cleanup provided by the 4th Day allow the team to focus on their roles.
Upkeep of Supplies: We have lots of stuff that requires storage, mending, replacement, and transport. We gotta
have stuff.
Camp Setup: There are several wonderful 4th Day who show up, like elves, on Wednesday night and Thursday to help
get our stuff setup.
Send-off: This job seems so small, but means so much. Driving a guest to camp, feeding them, and filling the room
with friendly faces starts us off with excitement and calms many anxieties.
Serenade: When we fill the dining room with the joyful songs of praise, I glimpse heaven. The guests see many loving
smiling faces.
Clausura: The graduating ceremony of Pilgrimage. And the welcoming into 4th day.
Camp Breakdown: The weekend is almost over, the guests are leaving, and the team is exhausted. Please help us
pack up in an organized method.
Ultreya: A party to celebrate new Pilgrims and to visit with old friends. Come on out and share a hug.
Reunion Groups: This is where we help each other in daily life through study, action, accountability, listening, sharing
and loving. The longevity of our organization depends on these communities. Please invite new Pilgrims into existing
or new groups.
There are many other ways to serve and every act is gratefully accepted. Ask any of your Conference Council Leaders
for suggestions. Wouldn’t it be cool to say we have over a thousand people assisting and serving each weekend? Or
even more.
Pray and pray more for success in sharing God’s love.
God Loves you and so do I,
Roger Worthington
