Music that Makes Community - Workshop on July 16

There's just something special that happens when we sing together. On Saturday, July 16th, you're invited to a one-day workshop with Music that Makes Community.

We'll sing together, and dream of ways to use music and voices in worship. Since Pilgrims is hosting this event, the workshop leader, the super gifted composer, worship leader, and musician Paul Vasile, is inviting any Pilgrims who are interested to attend for free.

Read all about the workshop here, then email Pastor Erin at erin@churchofthepilgrims.org to RSVP.

Backpacks for Friendship Place


Okay, yes, school is *just now* letting out for this year, but we're already thinking about next year! We're partnering with our neighbors at Friendship Place to provide 10 backpacks for students for next fall. And, we're making it super easy for you to be a part of it!

Make a special backpack donation, online (choose Friendship Place as the fund) or in person at worship, and we'll go out and buy all the requested items. Then during worship one Sunday in July, we'll stuff those packs full of supplies and love for students. Help us start some kids off for success at school in the new year!

June 11th - Join us for PRIDE!

Join us for PRIDE 2022!

The 2022 Capital Pride Parade is on Saturday, June 11th. The route has changed this year, so it will be ending right near Pilgrims. It kicks off over near 15th and T at 3pm. A group of Presbyterians from all over the DC Area will be marching in the parade together. If you are interested in marching, please click this link to sign up for more info.

At Pilgrims, we’ll be providing hospitality at the end of the parade. The church will be open from 4pm - 8pm for restrooms, charging phones, water, first aid, and just getting out of the heat. You are welcome to come and stop by! If you’re interested in volunteering at church to provide hospitality, please sign up here.

Fun with Revelation: Bible Study on Sunday Mornings

This Easter Season felt like the perfect time to read about seals and scrolls and letters and many-eyed creatures, trumpets and angels, disasters and plagues, horse-lookin’-locusts, seven-headed beasts, and dragons, so, so much more. So, as Pastor Erin is preaching on Revelation in worship, we’ll also be studying the book in our Sunday Morning Bible Study Class. Using Dr. Greg Carey’s book, “Faithful and True: A Study Guide to the Book of Revelation” we will discuss this vivid story bit by bit and vision by vision. Come and join us for the fun Sunday mornings at 10am in the Bird Room or on Zoom. To order a copy, get the Zoom link, or get more info about the class, contact Pastor Erin.
