Clemson vs. Carolina Food Drive
Pilgrim is hosting a Food Drive, and we need your help. We’re collecting pantry-stable breakfast items, meats, and hearty soups to share with families in need.
Drop your donations in the Clemson or Carolina bin any time between now and November 23.
All donated items will be blessed before our Thanksgiving Lunch on November 23. Thank you for helping make a difference in our community!
Pilgrim’s Thanksgiving Celebration
Pilgrim’s Thanksgiving Lunch will be held on Sunday, November 23, after Worship. This cherished tradition is a time to gather as one church family, share a meal, and give thanks for all of God’s blessings.
Let’s come together in gratitude and fellowship. See you there!
Christmas at House of Peace
Our Lutheran Men in Mission are preparing for a special outreach this Christmas season!
On Sunday, December 7, the group will visit House of Peace, a local ministry that provides meals, shelter, and spiritual support to men experiencing homelessness and hardship.
That day, our group will serve a meal, share in worship, and present Christmas gifts of men’s hygiene products to those we meet.
We’re asking for donations of men’s deodorant, razors, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, lotion, and toothpaste. Please bring your donations to the church by Sunday, November 30.

CHILDHOOD IN THE AGE OF ANXIETY
Presentation and Discussion of the book, “The Anxious Generation,” by Jonathan Haidt

Our book group presenter will be Dr. Ari Frede, who currently works in the Chicago Public School District, the fourth largest district in the U.S.
