WHAT IS PILGRIMAGE?

 Pilgrimage is a three-day event with a basic message that Christianity is a way of life rather than just a set of doctrines.  A highly structured, purposefully designed method for refreshing the faith of individuals and, through the individuals, the environments in which they live and work, Pilgrimage seeks to equip individual Christians to be more effective in their local churches, their homes, their places of business, and their communities.

            Pilgrimage activities include singing, worship, discussion, and prayer.  Discussion stems from talks by laity and clergy, centered on the theme of God’s grace: how it works in our lives, the different ways we respond to it, and how we live under it.  There is also unstructured time for recreation and for time alone.  Generally, Pilgrimage is a time to look at your own life in the light of God’s will for you, a time to learn of and reflect on your place in His “scheme of things.” 

            Pilgrimage is three days long but it lasts a Lifetime!
