We are well on our way to raising the projected funds needed for both the playground and the pavilion projects.

- Pledge Payments. Thanks to all of you who made pledges. We encourage payments by the end of this year, or the first week of January, unless you have opted to give monthly through the end of 2026.

- Youth Auction Fundraiser. Thanks to our youth and all who helped at our soup tasting competition and auction. Proceeds totaled $7,053. 

- Apparel Sale: the online store closes December 7th with the profits going to the project. Place your order at https://pigeon-river-mennonite-church-apparel-2025.itemorder.com/shop/home/ 

$5,000 is still needed to finish the fundraising for both the playground and pavilion. 

Donations from pledges or any contributions can be made out to Pigeon River Mennonite Church and put in the offerings or given to Emily. Be sure to designate it to the Pavilion and Playground projects. Thank you, generous church!
