Thanksgiving Cards for Shut-ins and “Just Older Youth”
Our Visitation Team, one of Pilgrim’s Bold Steps, will receive Thanksgiving cards for our shut-ins and “Just Older Youth” on November 3, 10, and 17.
We are inviting all Pilgrim members to write cards and place them in individual bags on a designated table in the Narthex. A list with names of shut-ins and “Just Older Youth” is located at the Welcome Desk in the Narthex. The last day to receive cards will be Sunday, November 17. Cards can also be dropped off at the church office before November 17. Members of the Visitation Team will then visit and deliver the Thanksgiving cards.
Many thanks for your participation! Let’s have a bag full of cards for each recipient!

As Pilgrims on a journey of faith, all are invited to a Community Service of Thanksgiving on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at 4 p.m.
To continue the celebration, join us for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner immediately following in the Fellowship Hall.

You might recognize Ryan Mears as the mother of those cute little blonde girls, Delaney and Dylan, who sit down in front at worship on Sunday mornings. If you knew how nervous Ryan was about bringing young children to sit through a church service, you’d wonder why she ever chose to sit near the front.
Perhaps, unknowingly, she was testing

If you knew how nervous Ryan was about bringing young children to sit through a church service, you’d wonder why she ever chose to sit near the front.
Perhaps, unknowingly, she was testing the congregation to see how welcoming we would be to a family with “imperfectly behaved” children. She said she felt welcomed and included from the very first day and knew she had found her family’s new church home.

Lutheran.
Over the past 8 years, Greg has served as a member of the Property Team,
Council, choir, praise band and a small group. When asked, “Why Pilgrim,” Greg
says, “It’s the feeling of belonging that keeps me coming.”

Joe Kaminer, a big muscular bear of a guy, could be imposing, that is, until he shoots you one of his huge entire face grins. Those grins can turn your entire day around in an instant.
He cherishes his family, sings to everything and anything musical, loves theater and movies, and is as much a Trekkie as he is a Star Wars fan. That’s rig
Joe Kaminer, a big muscular bear of a guy, could be imposing, that is, until he shoots you one of his huge entire face grins. Those grins can turn your entire day around in an instant.
He cherishes his family, sings to everything and anything musical, loves theater and movies, and is as much a Trekkie as he is a Star Wars fan. That’s right, he doesn’t have favorites of any kind. And the music? He does karaoke and DJs on the side as “DJ Joe Joe.”
Although Joe doesn’t talk about the years before he and his sister were adopted, he was, as he puts it, “in the foster child system” and 11 years old when they came to live with their new mom in Batesburg-Leesville.
