6WORSHIP (CONT.)Important Information About Holy Communion • For the distribution of Holy Communion, ushers release the worshiping assembly row by row. Communicants come forward to receive the elements. Those serving Communion will cleanse their hands immediately before serving. On rst Sundays, communicants will rst receive a piece of bread from the pastor and eat it; then communicants will take an empty ceramic individual communion cup, which will be lled by a communion assistant with either wine or grape juice and drink it. Used cups will be collected in baskets on the way back to the pews. On third Sundays, Communicants will rst receive the bread, then dip it into the red wine or the white grape juice, and then eat it.• Worshipers who do not wish to come forward or who wish to not share in the communal bread and wine/juice during the distribution of Holy Communion may request a self-contained, sealed, individual communion kit before worship begins or may bring their own elements.• ALL people are ALWAYS welcome to receive Holy Communion.
7from the pastorBY PASTOR JEN ROMEApril Updates“Release yourself from the tyranny of spiritual certainty. Doubt is not a threat to faith; it’s faith that has nally taken o its mask. If you nd it dicult to believe in God or anything else during this season, that is okay. You have seen death, endured sorrow. Inhale: I am free to not know. Exhale: I can rest in the mystery.” From “Black Liturgies” by Cole Arthur RileyThis month begins with Holy Week, the time we focus on the stories of the last week of Jesus’ life. That week holds the one nearly universally indisputable historical fact about Jesus: that a man named Jesus was executed on a cross sometime between 30 or 33 CE. We will sit with the reality of that grim fact during Holy Week. The biblical narrative tells truth in the stories that surround that fact, a kind of truth that is dierent from a nearly universally indisputable historical fact. The meaning we take and make from the stories and ideas we have about Jesus’ life, death, and life again is important. Over Holy Week, we will hear and experience those important stories and let them interact with who we are as individuals, as a faith community, and as part of the wider community. Like any other time of the church year, please bring your faith and doubt to this Holy Week. Let yourself enter the story, consider its purpose. Bring your questions along with your ways of knowing. Wonder together what God has done through Jesus and what God is doing through us.And when Holy Week is over, we will gather for Hungry Minds and Souls Sunday the very next week, when we give doubt and questions their faithful due. Together, that one nearly universally indisputable historical fact, the meaningfully true narrative that surrounds it, and our collective wonder will help us rest in the mystery of God.Pastor Jen Rome

About four individuals oer their invaluable support to our choirs and music programming every year through singing in the choir and sometimes also leading sectionals or enjoying other types of solo and leadership roles. Without their contributions, much of what we currently do would not be possible. Please join me in thanking Carey Shunskis (soprano), Kat Middledorp (alto), Sam Fouts (tenor) and Henry Radoc (bass) for making music with us throughout this year.About 75% of the funds needed for this programming are donated directly to the Choral Scholar Fund by you, Pilgrim members and friends. The Choral Scholar Fund donation site is available as one of the options on Pilgrim’s donation page, tinyurl.com/pilgrimstpaul. Please consider a gift of personal signicance to this fund today, especially during this month of March. We need to raise about $1500-2000 this spring in order to make plans to oer our current level of programming again in the 2023-24 season. The number of dollars needed is this low because we have an anonymous donor who makes a signicant gift every year. We are so grateful for every contribution.

11from the vestryLiving Lutheran UpdateFor years, Pilgrim members have been receiving a print periodical called Living Lutheran. This periodical shared about the life and ministry of the ELCA, the national denomination that Pilgrim is a part of. Over this time, the cost for each individual subscription has been paid for out of the Pilgrim budget.The recently approved congregational budget included discontinuing our subscription by May 2023 for all but our homebound members. Two external factors either inuenced or helped to solidify this decision: 1) much of the content is available online, and 2) Living Lutheran recently announced that they will no longer be distributing a print magazine beyond 2023.As such, the last issue Pilgrim members (other than those who are homebound) will receive will be the March/April 2023 issue. You can continue to read and engage with similar content on the Living Lutheran website at livinglutheran.org.If you have any questions or concerns, please contact someone from the Vestry. We are grateful for the ways this publication connected us with the wider church; and we are grateful that we can still nd such connection through their website.It’s Silver Pilgrim Time – Nominate a Pilgrim!Do you know someone who has been a rock upon which Pilgrim is built?
