Breeze Training Sunday, August 16, immediately following worship
Have questions about Breeze? Have you logged on yet? Having issues? Did you forget entirely? Pastor Colin and Delena Wilkerson will lead a training session on all things Breeze and help folks get set up and maybe even a little confident! The training will be held in the chapel immediately following worship.

Women’s Book Club
Friday, August 21, 7:30 P.M.
At our August meeting, there’s no book to read because we’ll be picking our next round of books for discussion. For new members, each member of the book group (and that includes everyone on this list, even if you're new or haven't been coming lately) can suggest 3 books that they would be willing to lead a discussion on sometime in the next year or so. But there’s no obligation, if you’d prefer not to lead a discussion. The books can be your favorites that you think we all would like to read, books sitting on your To Be Read pile too long, or books you think sound interesting to discuss. At the August meeting we'll all vote to select one of those 3 books. If you can't be there in person, you can send me your votes, and I'll vote for you by proxy.
New folks are always welcome! If any Pilgrim women or non-binary people would like to join the book club, and aren’t on the email list, please email Karen Van Meter at
karenvanmeter433@gmail.com.

GIVE
The benefits of a generous life are demonstrative, verifiable and authentic. At the end of the day we seem to be hard-wired to give. That’s the way God created us. God, the original giver, the one who held nothing back invites us to participate in the joy of giving.
