Hello Fourth Day! I was truly humbled and honored to be asked to serve as Rector for NCPP #148 almost a year ago. I was told by many to look for the God Moments as I set out on the planning journey and I have seen and continue to see many. The verse I chose for the weekend is Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will hold you you up with my victorious right hand. This verse as always been my go to verse in good times and bad. I consider it my Footsteps verse. You all are familiar with that poem I m sure. I can always look back and see that he was holding me up regardless of the situation I was looking back from and it was truly a big part of the transplant journey for Hugh and me. As you can see on the logo, our sleeve is wrinkled and unkempt, wrinkled and unkempt, much like our lives without God, but his is freshly pressed and pristine, which is the what the life that He is lifting us into is like. God has chosen the perfect team to serve the 19 guests that will be attending the weekend. Our team meetings are over, the planning is complete and we are just over a week away from the mountain top. The only thing left to do is let God show up and show off as he always does! My hope is that you too will join us in our journey in at least one of the several ways available to you. Please sign up for the prayer banner, join us Saturday night for the serenade, attend the closing ceremony on Sunday afternoon and/or attend the Ultreya that will be held at Jamestown Presbyterian Church on November 4, 2017 at 5:30. God Loves You and So Do I, Scott Greene

The Notes From the Council Registrar Trivia: Question: What three items comprise an acceptable guest application? Answer: A complete guest Application form (with Pastor Signature), a complete sponsor application form, and deposit complete means every blank is filled in! Question: What is required for the NCPP movement to thrive? Answer: Guests Question: You are thinking of sponsoring a guest what should you do first? Answer: Pray, pray, PRAY then read & meet the Guidelines for a Pilgrimage Sponsor. Question: How do you know when the next weekend is and who is the Rector? Answer: Go to www.ncpilgrimage.org, click on weekend Information and Weekend Dates. Question: Should you share with your potential guests all they should expect on a weekend? Answer: No, you should share generalities but do not reveal any special surprises. Question: Is it alright to bring my guest and a completed application to surprise the team? Answer: No, neither the Registrar nor the team like surprises!!!! You should provide the complete application to the Registrar by the guest deadline, usually 2 weeks before the weekend to allow yourself adequate time to collect special palanca and for the team to prepare for your guest. Question: Can I use an application I found in a team manual from 5 years ago and where can I find the Registrar s address? Answer: No, you should always print a NEW application form from the www.ncpilgrimage.org website (under Weekend Information and Forms ) to make sure you are meeting the latest requirements. The current Registrar s address for each conference is on the bottom of the Sponsor s application. Question: What should I say if my guest says they cannot afford the weekend? Answer: First ask your guest how much they could pay then speak to the Registrar about financial assistance. Question: Is it ok to print a copy of the outlines for my guest to get ready for the weekend? Answer: Please print only the NCPP Brochure from the www.ncpilgrimage.org website (under 4th Day Community ). Remember Pilgrimage will provide everything else they need for the weekend. Question: Who is responsible for obtaining guest palanca? Answer: You are as the sponsor. You may deliver it discretely to a team member at Send-Off, send it to camp with a team member, or deliver it to the baskets when you go for dinner prior to the Serenade. NC Presbyterian News 5
Notes From the Council Would You Like To Serve On A Pilgrimage Team? If you would like to serve on a team, download the team application form from the NCPP web site, www.ncpilgrimage.org. Fill it out and send it to the rector of the weekend. On the form, you can indicate your preference for your role on the team. It is not always possible for rectors to find a spot for everyone who wishes to serve on a weekend, but they are particularly interested in having new members of the 4th Day Community serve on teams.
