Upcoming Events
Book Study - Celtic Spirituality
Pr. Gregg Carlson and Carol Penhollow will be teaching from John Philip Newell’s book “Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul” about Celtic Spirituality.
You are invited to explore the golden thread that has always woven though the teachings of Christ that uphold a sacredness of human life and nature. John Phillip Newell returns to the ancient Celtic tradition using stories of people, events, music and poetry to demonstrate that the golden thread exists, and how we can tap into it.
Gratefull Chattanooga 2026
Pilgrim is a sponsor of GRATEFULL this year. Gratefull, which is in its 10th year, is a event that is free and all are welcome to attend. People gather together for a Thanksgiving meal in the middle of Martin Luther King Blvd., in front of the Bessie Smith Cultural Center. Long tables are set up for the meal. There is no fee, no expectations, and no agenda. It's just a joyous time for community fellowship.
Plan to attend if you can. There are signup sheets in the back of the sanctuary. Gratefull is a wonderful event, and you will be glad that you participated. In 2025, some 800 people enjoyed a meal together.
