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.

October 2021 Calendar

Please note that the services on 10/17, 10/24, and 10/31 will be Divine Services (using Divine Service, Setting Four), not Matins Services, as the calendar errantly indicates. And, in deference to families interested in Trick or Treating, the time for the 10/31 Symposium has since been changed to 2:00-4:00 p.m.
