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. Refer to our C.E. page for information about the programs available for each age group. 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 Diaconate members on duty in the entrance to the Sanctuary.

Note: We now record each worship service digitally, and try to publish each service here, on this website. We can also make CD recordings of the service on request (although this may take a day or two). If you would like a copy of the service, see one of the Diaconate members 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 2007-2008 year is “Dying … For New Life”. 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 Watson St. entrance. “Chair stations” are located throughout the Sanctuary, permitting wheelchair users plenty of room. We have handicapped-accessible restrooms on the main floor, and our classrooms and most of our meeting areas are also on the main floor. We have an elevator to the lower level for access to the Thrift Shop and secondary meeting rooms.

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 Diaconate members 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.
