A Letter from Lindy Jan 12

Pilgrims,
I am just back from my time in Orlando and quickly trying to get up to speed on all that has transpired while I was gone. Two wonderful new developments from what I read here and in emails:

  • Church Council will be presenting the 2020 budget to the congregation for your approval on January 26. With that, let us thank our dedicated number crunching team for all their hard work and tireless effort through the busiest of seasons!

  • The Music Committee has extended a covenantal invitation to Pilgrim's next Music Director. Again, please surround with your gratitude and support the members of this committee as they opened themselves to God's leading for this next chapter of Pilgrim's story. 

Hard work done by many faithful Pilgrims to help us grow as beloved community! I have marveled every time I stepped into one of these conversations to see the ways in which new leaders are emerging from within to guide our Way forward. It was with joy that I shared our journey with some friends and colleagues while in Orlando, remarking on how truly blessed I feel to be in ministry with you.
 
With that, a word of thanks for the way in which you care for your pastor and share your generosity in the Christmas season. I am deeply appreciative for the Christmas gift I received from you and recognize the many layers of love that brought it into being. With a full heart, thank you! 
 
A second thank you to our Auxiliary who every year channel their inner Christmas elves and lovingly leave a basket of sugary bounty on each of the staff's desks. We feel your love and care with every inch of our expanding waistline :)
 
I pray that through this season of Epiphany and beyond, we continue to seek divine light together.
Pastor Lindy
