Worship With Us at Pilgrim Church

Sunday Worship

Pilgrim Church is located at 4 Watson Street, Nashua, New Hampshire. If you have never visited us before, here are driving directions and a map.

Our Sunday worship service begins at 10:00 a.m., and typically lasts for 60–75 minutes. After the service, please stay and join us in Fellowship Hall for refreshments and conversation.

We have an active Christian education program, with classes or activities for all ages. Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available throughout the service. If you have any questions or need directions to the nursery, please ask one of the ushers on duty in the entrance to the Sanctuary.

Note: We now record each worship service digitally, and try to publish an audio recording of each service (although this may take a day or two, because the sound on these recordings is “cleaned up” after the service, to sound better). We can also make CD recordings of a service on request, from the original audio. If you would like a personal CD audio copy of a service, see one of the ushers after the service, or call the church office during the week.

Theme and Lectionary Schedule

Each year, the ministry team chooses a theme for worship and education, and many of our messages are tailored to this theme. The theme for the 2009-2010 year is “Music of the Spheres”. Watch for examples and variations of this theme throughout the year!

In general, we follow the Revised Common Lectionary—the ecumenical Bible plan for public worship on Sundays and the principal holidays of the Church Year. For more information about the Revised Common Lectionary, as well as texts and readings for specific dates, visit the UCC SAMUEL page.

Parking and Accessibility

Ample free parking is available on the church grounds. Designated handicapped parking spaces are located adjacent to the two main entrances of the church.

Pilgrim Church is wheelchair-accessible. A ramp is located outside the main entrance at the south end of the building. Another ramp is available inside the entryway of the eastern Watson St. entrance. “Chair stations” are located throughout the Sanctuary, permitting wheelchair users plenty of room. We have accessible restrooms on the main floor, and our classrooms and primary meeting areas are also on the main floor.

Note: We offer large-print versions of the worship bulletin for all of us folks who have trouble reading smaller type. If you would like one, please ask one of the ushers on duty in the entrance to the sanctuary.

Need a Ride?

If you want to come but can't drive or walk, just give us a call at the church office. We can arrange for pickup and return. If possible, please call during the week before the service. That will give us more time to make arrangements.
