Reflections on today’s worship
The church was packed this morning. When you are sitting in the pews and look toward the front, there are tables and chairs on both sides for parents and children of all ages to sit. Kids are invited to color and it really seemed to work. Kids sang two or three times. Pilgrim has a children’s choir director, and this level of quality investment in kids tells kids and parents- kids are valued here. A 5th grader ushered. A parishoners led the children’s sermon- very inclusive of all ages.
Today Pilgrim’s new Pastor Jen was installed. The time invested in today’s worship was evident in choice of music, liturgy, everything. By design, lead pastor Carol has mostly all congregational members leading worship. Things probably went longer than their original plan, but they didn’t seem to mind. It was a day of celebration.
Pastor Jen preached on Mark 10:13-16 when Jesus shows how much he values children. Excellent message Pastor Jen! There was more welcoming during coffee fellowship but I needed to leave.
