Pastor Carol's Good-Bye Celebration
Sunday, January 10, 10:40 am. On this Sunday, Pastor Carol's last day celebrating with the Pilgrim community, we will use the forum time to celebrate her, and to reminisce about her 22 years with us. We have created several avenues for Pilgrims and Pastor Carol to share our goodbyes, as she concludes 22 years of Pilgrim pastoral ministry on Jan. 11. The Pilgrim community is invited to participate in several events, including a farewell drive-by at 1:00 pm on Sunday, 1/10, as well as contribute to a digital memory website and/or an honor gift. Read more on the Pilgrim blog.

A Tribute to the Pilgrim Staff by Pastor Carol Tomer There are so many dimensions of Pilgrim life for which I give thanks. One of those gifts is the Pilgrim staff. They serve faithfully and diligently and creatively, as you know. Some of them have served for a number of years and have provided such valuable continuity, knowledge, and insights on the ever-unfolding Pilgrim journey. Some of them are newer on staff and have brought their unique gifts to Pilgrim's shared ministry.
This team has been a gift to me and to Pilgrim. Pilgrim is in good hands during the interim journey, as these staff members continue to support the ministry of the whole Pilgrim community and continue to support outreach beyond Pilgrim.
I give thanks for each of them — and here they are, from those who’ve served the longest, to those who are newest: Dick Hensold, Chuck Regal, Cathy Salin, Paul Stever, Serena Asta, Pastor Lynn Peterson, Mike Schulze, Pastor Jen Rome, Maggie Priola, Mary Brodd, Denika Anderson, Alex Theship-Rosales.
And, we are also blessed by a number of nursery attendants — MeeAe Kim, Aly Xiong, Jimmy Gerding, Bethany Mollman; choral scholars — Maggie Priola, Ben Winkler, Yilun Dong; and wedding coordinators — Joanna Deer and Karie Johnson.
May God continue to bless and guide Pilgrim and each of these servant leaders.
With much gratitude,
Pastor Carol Tomer

Pilgrim's Heritage Display The work on the Pilgrim Heritage Display has been unfolding since 2017. Each fall, around the time of Pilgrim’s Anniversary Sunday, another row was completed. Now, the fourth and final row has gone up! This work has been led by Jane Ann Nelson, with the help of Mike Schulze, Jim and Mary Jahnke, and Paul Daniels, archivist for ELCA Region 3. In addition, thanks go to Cathy Salin for ordering the hardware for the display and to Chuck Regal for putting up the hardware. You will be able to see the completed work when the Pilgrim building opens again. But in the meantime, here’s a photo of it:
