Pilgrim’s Women’s Breakfast
Women's Breakfast this month will be hosted by Renee Stelter. Bring a dish to share. RSVP to Renee at reneestelter@hotmail.com.
Worship Service In The Parlor
Join us for worship at 10:30 am. Rev. Colin Knapp will be leading worship and preaching from the biblical text. In worship we celebrate our relationship with God, we strengthen our relationship with one another, and we explore what it means to put our faith into action. Come as you are.
Friday Bible Study
TOPIC: Book of Deuteronomy Part 1
PRESENTER: Rev. Gloria Cox
DESCRIPTION: What does it mean to be God's people — not just in theory, but as we stand at the threshold of something new? That's the question Moses poses to Israel in the opening chapters of Deuteronomy, and it's the question we'll explore together this Fall.
Part 1 of our study, “Remembering Who We Are”, runs six sessions, August 7 through September 18. we will not meet on Friday, September 4. We will focus on Deuteronomy 1–11. This is the great "sermon" in which Moses calls the people to remember who they are and whose they are before crossing into the Promised Land.
No prior Bible study experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to wrestle with an ancient text that speaks with surprising urgency to our present times. All are welcome. Please contact Gloria directly for exact dates and email notifications (including Zoom link), or for more information at: revgcox@gmail.com
Pilgrim Women’s Book Club
The group will be at the home of Seana Valentine. RSVP to seanavalentine@yahoo.com. 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 three books that they would be willing to lead 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.

Adult Christian Education
Topic: "PCC Pilgrim's Progress"
Speaker: Group Discussion
Description: Throughout the Winter and Spring we have discussed the "State of the Church", exploring the differences, evolution, and (somewhat bleak) future of institutional Christianity around the world. Last time, we focused on our own denomination's statistics - recognizing how the national decline in church attendance has affected, but also has been resisted by, the UCC. In this CAPSTONE session we look to inventory the hopeful story going on here at Pilgrim Oak Park! We will look at our many accomplishments that make up our LEGACY and how that can serve as a FOUNDATION for the future. As a part of that evolution, we may take a peek into ideas of adult learning going forward.
NOTE for Next Week: ACE for Pride Sunday, June 7th, will again be a VIRTUAL EXPLORATION via internet links to the issues facing LGBTQ+ in today's social environment.
