Some sad news to report:
It is with deep regret that Pilgrim Congregational Church announces the passing of Rev. Dr. Frederick Elder back on February 16, 2019.  Dr. Elder was a former pastor at Pilgrim Church as well as an active church member and a member of the Investment Committee.  A Memorial Service will be held for Dr. Elder at Pilgrim Church, located at 45 Broadway in Taunton, on Monday, May 20, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. followed by a collation/reception in Fellowship Hall after the service.  Please RSVP to (508) 822-1472 or pilgrimchurch02780@gmail.com

  • Julie had two happy bucks. The first was for her guest, Hans. The second was for securing a company team for the upcoming TASC Spelling Bee.
  • Dick had a sad buck for Kentucky's loss in the NCAA basketball tournament, but he added a happy buck for it being an entertaining, interesting, and unpredictable tournament to watch!
