CYF Updates for Indoor Worship
During indoor worship, the east and west transept areas will be available for all who choose to use them. Please stay with your child when using these areas. Coloring sheets, clipboards, and markers will be available as well. Please return used clipboards and markers to the labeled bins in the transepts YES after you are done using them. These items will be cleaned after each use.
In order to keep the youngest Pilgrims (who don't yet have access to COVID vaccines) safe, the nursery will not be open during worship. As always, children are welcome in worship, and you are free to move throughout the sanctuary with your child as needed.

100th Anniversary Hymn
Because music is so highly valued at Pilgrim, the Anniversary Committee has commissioned an original hymn to commemorate Pilgrim's first 100 years. David Weiss, a theologian and poet, is writing the text. Anne Krentz Organ, a nationally recognized composer and Lutheran church musician, will write a new hymn tune to accompany it. The hymn will premiere in October and become a lasting part of Pilgrim's repertoire.
The commissioning will cost $1,250. If you would like to help fund this creative endeavor, click on https://tinyurl.com/pilgrimstpaul and select "100th Anniversary Hymn Donation."

Re-Visioning Evening Worship at Pilgrim
In January, the evening worship team requested input from the evening community on reimagining evening worship for the 2021-22 program year. They have since formed two committees, one each for the Celtic and Nordic services, and have been meeting since April. Based on those meetings, they have decided to hold one Celtic and one Nordic service each month for September through December, which will be similar to the previous Celtic and Nordic services Pilgrim has held, while incorporating many new elements as well.
Over the past two decades, the team has gained much experience and has developed many ideas, but stepping into this new season of evening worship is no small feat. Now, it's your turn: The team is in need of pilgrims from the evening community to join the re-visioning committees in July and August and bring these reimagined services to life. Your voice matters, and your input is valuable! The team is looking for a few more committee members on each team to help guide the re-visioning process -- will you join them in this work?

Bargain Prices on
Fair Trade Products
This Sunday!
During the months that our Pilgrim building has been empty our stock of Equal Exchange coffee, baking chocolate and tea has been “aging in place.” Although these items are past their “sell by” dates, they are still consumable and should have minimal deterioration in quality. Stop by the table outside the Fireside Room this Sunday where we will be selling our Fair Trade products at discount prices. We’ll stock a fresh supply of these items in the fall.
