Death Cafe
Come join us for great conversation and cake!
At a Death Cafe, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death.
The objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.

This event is sponsored by Welcome Home of Chattanooga.

Interfaith Service and Moral Mass Rally
Join us in the Parlor at Pilgrim Congregational Church as we stream the live event “Interfaith Service and Moral Mass Rally.”
January 20th is an opportunity for people of faith and conscience to gather, united in worship proclaiming a commitment to being Prophetic, Pastoral, Prayerful and in Protest as we seek a just world for all. At a time when our nation yearns for healing and unity, we aim to offer a pastoral voice of encouragement and hope, to stand against the divisive and harmful rhetoric that has mis-represented the voice of faith that is grounded in love and justice. Together, we will reaffirm our dedication to the principles of unity and dignity of all people.
We hope you’ll join us for this important time together.
You can read more about the event here.
