Pilgrim Lutheran Church and School

Wishing all our fathers, grandfathers, and father figures a day filled with love and appreciation! ♥️

Today, we observe Juneteenth, honoring freedom, resilience, and hope.

As we reflect on this day, we recommit ourselves to working towards equality and equity for all people.

🌎💚 The Pilgrim Green Team has been hard at work protecting our planet!

Recently, they joined the community at EcoFest in Welles Park, sharing ideas about sustainability, and helping visitors create fun, eco-friendly projects like braided dog toys made from scrap fabric, DIY bird feeders, and pressed flower bookmarks. 🌸🐦🐶

The team also spent a morning at Montrose Beach helping keep our shoreline beautiful by cleaning up litter. 🏖️

We’re proud of our Green Team students for making a positive impact, and showing that small actions can make a big difference for the Earth! ♻️

At Pilgrim, we celebrate the sacred worth and belovedness of every person. This month and every month, we give thanks for the gifts, faith, leadership, and presence of our LGBTQIA+ parish members and neighbors. May all who pass by know they are welcomed, valued, and loved. 💜

Serving others is an important part of a Pilgrim education. Last week, our 5th–8th grade students had the opportunity to put that lesson into practice at Feed My Starving Children.

Working alongside teachers and parent volunteers, our students packed 95 boxes of food that will be sent to children in Nicaragua. And thanks to the generosity of our parish community, Pilgrim donated enough money to FMSC for 950 children to eat for a day.

We are grateful for these opportunities to teach our students about the importance of serving and reaching out with compassion to help others! ♥️
