OCTOBER 2013

Bigger & Stronger - Together!

It is meaningful and life-giving to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. At All Pilgrims we join together and find ourselves moved by the Spirit that connects, transforms, and engages us as a body of faithful people. Our collective life is dynamic. Read more.

Perspective on Homelessness

On Wednesday, October 30 at 6:45 pm, Richard LeMieux, author

of Breakfast at Sally's, will give us a perspective of homelessness from an "inside view". Richard was once homeless in the Kisak County area and lived in his van with his dog, Willow. He has presented his story to over 200,000 people and appeared in several TV interviews. All volunteers for the Community Lunch/Supper programs are encouraged to attend. All others interested in this real look at our homeless population are invited.

CURRENTLY AT ALL PILGRIMS:

Stewardship, Expanding Ministry, and Big Sundays!

This year, our stewardship pledge opportunity appropriately comes within a time of new, high energy events. Read all about it.
