RMCNews – Gillette, Wyoming … “Thank you, Gillette, for welcoming us to your city!” Rocky Mountain Conference stated in a full-color advertisement published in the Gillette New Record on September 7.
A half-page ad expressed gratitude for how the city of Gillette, Wyoming, welcomed participants of the International Pathfinder Camporee, August 5-11. Edrey Santos, lead pastor for the Gillette, Sheridan, Buffalo, Newcastle, and Upton Seventh-day Churches in northeastern Wyoming, saw the published ad and remarked, “It was nicely done and very professional looking in design.”
The ad message noted that “60,000 Pathfinders from nearly 100 countries have taken home wonderful stories from their experience at Camporee in Gillette. Your hospitality is what they will remember.
Thank you for the response from your residents, churches, and community following the inclement weather. You opened your homes. The name Gillette is enshrined in our hearts.
Seventh-day Adventists are a part of your community and will continue to serve and give hope to our neighbors here.”
Among thousands of participants in Camporee, Pathfinders from the Rocky Mountain Conference were represented by 36 clubs. The Gillette Seventh-day Adventist Church was represented by a small and recently formed Gillette Pioneers Club.
