A pilgrimage is simply a journey. Historically, a pilgrimage is a journey to a sacred or religious place. One of the oldest pilgrimages is a 500 mile trek from eastern to
western Spain, the Camino de Santiago. (“Camino” is a path or road).

However, a pilgrimage does not need to be religious in nature. It can be a long journey, a search, or an adventure that is personally meaningful. A pilgrimage may also refer to the journey of human life.

These journeys do not require traveling to another country. Some journeys are internal in nature or occur in our everyday lives. Individuals on pilgrimages often have common experiences such as learning life lessons.

The speaker is Collete Hoglund.

Unitarians and Universalists historically strove to lift up the inherent good in humankind, essentially taking original sin and eternal damnation off the table. This is understandable given the context, and yet it is also unfortunate that today we shy away from the uncomfortable topic of human failings. Today with our visiting minister, Rev. Jenny Peek, we will reflect on sin. Our service Sunday will be both in person at our location 160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls as well as on ZOOM beginning at 10:30 AM Mountain Time.

Jen Okelberry is the Worship Associate
