Welcome to Pilgrim Congregational Church
At the start of every Sunday morning service we say - Whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey you are welcome here. You are a child of God and precious in God’s sight.
This sense of welcome is at the core of everything we believe and hold dear.
We don’t know what brought you to our website today. Maybe you are curious about Pilgrim Church and want to check it out. Maybe you are searching for a community where you fit in. Maybe you are hoping to find a place where you can ask questions and find your own faith path. Maybe you are you are looking for a new spiritual home.
Please join us on Sunday mornings at 10am in person, or you can watch us live on this website, our Facebook page and YouTube.
Sunday Service
July 5th, 2026 10AM
The Scripture Lessons for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost are:
Genesis 24:34-36, 42-49, 58-67 and Psalm 45:10-17 or
Song of Solomon 2:8-13
Zechariah 9:9-12 and Psalm 145:8-14
Romans 7:15-25a
Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
Our four scripture passages this week connect to the discipleship practice of being obedient to God. In the Hebrew Bible, we see Abraham’s servant and Rebekah take leaps of faith to become part of a great family lineage. The Psalm is on for a royal wedding, suited to questions of family and legacy. In Matthew, Jesus promises us that if we choose a path of trusting and following God, he will take up our earthly burdens so that we might find joy in following him. Paul writes to the Romans of his emotional turmoil in trying to be obedient to God, and the relief of knowing that Jesus is always ready to come to our aid.
This is the season of Ordinary Time. “Ordinary” doesn’t mean typical or humdrum. Rather, it comes from the word “ordinal,” meaning “related to a series.” Think of Ordinary Time as an ordered, deliberate, six-month step-by-step pilgrimage through the story of Jesus’ life. This year, Matthew is our guide. The liturgical color for the pastor's stole and paraments (cloth hanging from the pulpit and lectern) is green. This symbolizes growth in the church.
Blessings, Rev. Amie
