News

Pilgrim Lutheran Church's primary focus is on God's Good News about the forgiveness of sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (The English word "gospel" essentially means "good news".) In addition to our traditional proclamation of God's Good News in our services and Bible Classes, we make use of various other print and electronic media to communicate that Good News and other news about the congregation that we share with our members and the public. You may use this page to see or go directly to the most-recent postings in the News category, or you may use this page to navigate to the respective pages for each of the subcategories as described first below.

After a week or two of measuring, aligning, digging, and building forms, the footings for the north wall of the new Parish Hall and its corners with the east and west walls were poured in the afternoon of Friday, February 12, 2016. Two loads of concrete were brought to the site by North Crete Services and moved into position by workers. Eventually concrete blocks will be positioned on the footings to serve both as the wall of the new building and effectively as part of the retaining wall for a section of the line that used to divide Pilgrim’s original property from two residential neighborhood lots to the north. We thank and praise God for the safe and speedy progress on the building and pray that it continues in His way and time.
