Hello, Pilgrim UCC family and friends!

At the writing of this article, we are experiencing some truly great weather with God’s beautiful works all around us. It is a great way to end the fall season. We are grateful.

Our ONA discussions last month surrounding the movie Call Me Malcolm, were well attended and many thoughtful questions were asked. We are very thankful for Andrea and Trixie Yttri’s leading of these sessions. Their willingness to share insights from their personal journeys gave us many views into a world not many of us have traveled in showing us that learning is growing!

Tracy Abler and CSA Associate Home Circle are preparing Café Q’s November meal. We are grateful for their continued support. Pilgrim will provide the December meal; please let Sue Kaiser know if you can help prepare it or make a donation.

To support the events ONA hopes to offer Pilgrim in 2027, we will hold a kringle fundraiser through Uncle Mike’s Bake Shoppe from November 19 through December 4. This award-winning Wisconsin bakery has been making distinctive kringles for 25 years. Nine flavors will be available: Sea Salt Caramel Pecan, Caramel Apple, Turtle, Raspberry, Door County Cherry, Blueberry Cheese, Almond, Cream Cheese, and Strawberry Cheese.

The Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Signature Kringle was named Best Kringle in North America, and the Caramel Apple Signature Kringle earned third place in the Wisconsin Baker’s Kringle Contest. Choose these award-winning favorites or try another flavor as a treat for family, friends, or yourself. An order form is included in this Quill, so you can begin gathering orders from friends and co-workers.

Kringles can be frozen for up to six months, making them a convenient treat for a New Year’s Eve celebration or Easter next year. Each kringle costs $23, payable by cash or check when you place your order. Payment must be received by Friday, December 4, for your order to be included in our final submission to Uncle Mike’s.

For questions about the fundraiser, contact Andrea Yttri from ONA at: love2sign87@gmail.com.

October’s educational resource focused on one of Sue Kaiser’s favorite singer-songwriters: Jennifer Knapp. When Knapp stepped away from her successful Christian music career in 2003, many fans wondered why. Now, she is speaking about both her comeback and her coming out. The series includes four videos, each approximately ten minutes long. Links for Parts 1 and 2 were included in our October Quill article; Parts 3 and 4 are included here.

With deepest appreciation for all of you!
