We don't want to spook you, but November is almost here — which means these upcoming events are just around the corner!

We have two opportunities for you to:

1) Becoming a Reconciler Course — starting Nov. 8th
2) Trauma Healing Group — starting Nov. 14th

Becoming a Reconciler is a six week course explores the process of becoming a change-agent. By looking at Peter's story of transformation in Acts 10-11, we will explore together how we can become reconcilers, too.

Trauma Healing is a small group experience for those who have experienced trauma or want to learn more about how trauma impacts people. Using a bible-based curriculum that combines scripture with mental health best practices, participants will have the opportunity to engage with each other and with God.

Visit our website to register: pilgrimcenter.org.

When people experience loss and trauma, they become wounded. When people are wounded, they need a safe place to heal.

Join us starting Monday, November 14th for a Trauma Healing group.

This small group experiences combines biblical principles with mental health best practices to create a safe space for people to engage with God and one another.

Whether you have experienced trauma or are curious to learn about how trauma effects people, you are welcome to join. Contact [email protected] with questions.

Last week over 200 people joined us for "A Year of Immeasurably More" at our annual Fall Celebration. Thank you to everyone who came!

"When I came to the retreat, I realized I was so angry at God. I thought that if I admitted that, God wouldn't love me anymore. But that's not true. He is bigger than anything and he can handle it. Nothing can separate us from God's love." - Ivory Doublette, featured US speaker.

We give thanks for God's Immeasurably More, for God's abounding love, and God's heart for healing and reconciliation. Thank you all for supporting this ministry!

There is still time to make a donation to support this work. Consider making a monthly donation to sustain the ministry of healing and reconciliation! Visit https://pilgrimcenter.org/donate/ to give.
