Everyone is welcome at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, and all are welcome to receive all God has to offer — God’s gifts and sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.
You are welcome to enjoy all of God’s love through weddings, funerals, and regular participation in worship and service to this congregation in every way, including giving of your time, talents, and resources.
Worship is each Sunday at 10 a.m. We look forward to getting to know you better and deeper as you worship with us on Sunday mornings.
Wear red to celebrate the beginning of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century and our call to be the church ever-reforming. Pastor David Coffman, Campus Pastor at Newberry College, will lead worship this Sunday.
The Newberry College Wolves, that is! In addition to helping fill Pilgrim’s Community Food Pantry during the month of October, we are reaching out to our Newberry College neighbors to help stock their pantry. Campus pastor, Pastor David, has shared that the Newberry College pantry is in need, especially after Hurricane Helene.
Items needed most are Gatorades, juices, shelf-stable milk, and toiletries. A collection bin will be in our narthex during the month of October. Pastor David will be with us during the last two Sundays of October, and we are looking forward to sending him back with a carload of food pantry items for those Newberry College Wolves. Thank you for your continued generosity.
The Leah Circle invites the congregation to collect socks for our neighbors at Mission Lexington. Many of our friends do not have enough clothes, including socks, to keep them warm during the winter. Please consider donating new socks for women, men, and children during the month of October. There will be a box in the narthex to receive your gifts, or you can leave them at the church office during the week. Thank you!
In partnership with Lutheran Disaster Response Carolinas, we will collect buckets and cleaning supplies for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Shelia McCullough has provided a list of specific items that are needed. You may purchase some or all of the items on the list. You may drop off your items in the church office. She will keep this an ongoing project because the need is great, and cleanup will be a long process. We will be happy to take any donations. Thank you for prayerfully considering this cause as we lend a helping hand to our neighbors who have lost so much. Please contact Shelia McCullough for any information or questions at 803-622-4706 or borngrn@sc.rr.com
If you want to make online purchases for the buckets, we have set up an Amazon list with an option to deliver to the church office. You can find the list here.
Greg Sommers has always had a strong faith. He grew up in the Roman Catholic
church and came to the Lutheran denomination after marrying Brenda, a life-long
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.

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.

As the story goes, her eight-year-old sister was in charge of her one day as they walked home. What six- year-old wants to listen to her eight-year-old sister? So, when Carolyn got to the street corner and was about to cross to catch up with friends who already made it to the other side, her older and wiser sister told her to stop and wait until the traffic passed. Carolyn just knew she could make it across, so she took off running anyway. Her sister was right. She didn’t make it. She literally was hit by a Mack Truck. Fortunately, the truck only ran over the toes of her left foot. However, the accident and complications that ensued resulted in the amputation of her left leg just below the knee.
