A Letter from Lindy Oct 8

Beloved Pilgrims,

I greet you in absentia as I live into my sabbatical month of October. This month is one of travel: to Orlando and Chicago. Our month of speakers is a wonderful mix of Pilgrim members and Pilgrim friends. I pray that the words from their mouths and the meditations from their hearts feed and nourish you along the way. Our second Sunday of October brings to us a cherished Pilgrim friend, Rev. Katherine Henderson. For those who can remember back, Rev. Henderson was a guest preacher for the ordination service of Sarah Horton Campbell. She is an active member of United Church of Chapel Hill. Please join with me in surrounding her with your love and prayers as she shares reflections from her journey.

In case you don’t know Katherine well, let me introduce this special person to you….
Rev. Katherine K. Henderson, MRP, M.Div., originated the role of Senior Clinical Chaplain for Outpatient Spiritual Care in the Duke University Health system. An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, Katherine earned her Master of Divinity from Chicago Theological Seminary, where she specialized in Chaplaincy Studies. At Duke Health, Katherine provides individual and group spiritual care for patients and staff, with a focus on bereavement support for underserved communities. Katherine lives in Durham with her husband Barron, teenaged sons Baxter and Owen, and their hilarious mixed-breed mini-dog Pepper.

Please join me in welcoming her!

with gratitude,

Pastor Lindy (she/her) why pronouns matter
