Pilgrim Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod)
Burton, Michigan
Hello pilgrim family, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
It's a great day to be children of God, redeemed and saved by our Christmas Savior!
The purpose of this message is pretty simple, really. Based on many things considered, and many prayers, your pastor and your church leadership have determined it is best if we stop meeting in person on Sunday mornings for 2 weeks. None of us likes this decision, because all of us look forward to gathering together on Sunday morning to worship our Lord. But, with pandemic all around us, we firmly believe it is better to remain apart for two Sundays, December 13th and December 20th. We’ll make a decision later, about Christmas Eve service and services thereafter.
In these next two weeks when we’re not getting together, please watch our online worship services in the safety of your home. Or, we’d be happy to get you a DVD disc, which you can use to watch on your computer or your TV. Please call me at the church office if you’d like to try this or if you know anyone who might. I'm happy to help you figure out how to make some of these new things work!
So, we're pausing, taking a couple weeks off from worshipping in person on Sunday mornings. Thanks be to God, we can still receive His gifts: His Word & forgiveness of our sins spoken to us, even while we’re apart!
In the meantime, please be COVID-safe and follow all the guidelines from our health experts.
• Limit your trips outside of your home to only those necessary.
• When you do go out, wear masks, stay as far away from folks around you as
possible, and wash your hands frequently.
Please take every precaution, so when we come together again hopefully soon
we will only share Christian love & friendship, and nothing else!
In the name of Jesus our Savior, peace be with you.
