Act-It UP! Theater Group is a community theater organization located within Pilgrim United Church of Christ. All actors and production members are volunteers. After licensing fees are paid, any proceeds earned from ticket sales go to support the theater group, financing future productions, outreach programs, and for repairs on the historical building. Next year, Pilgrim UCC will be celebrating 180 years of being faithful through the ages. We invite you to meet some of the Pilgrims of today and grow in your faith during our Sunday morning offerings. 9:30 a.m. Learning in God's House Together for children; Coffee & Conversation for Adults; 10:30 a.m. Worship, Fellowship Hour with refreshments to follow at 11:30.
