Wednesday Lenten Vespers

March 23, 2022

We're glad & thankful you've come here to watch our service and worship the one true God!

This was another exciting Lenten Wednesday at Pilgrim Lutheran Church! Once again, we had lots of great activities going on, starting with our 11 am Bible class. In this class, we consider various signs of Jesus, which bear witness to Him. The highlight of the day is our Vespers worship services at either 4pm or at 7pm. We enjoy a delicious soup dinner between these services, sharing good food and fellowship! If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us for any or all of these great events!

Here is information about todays worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

First Reading: Zechariah 12:10–14
Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:7–10
Gospel Reading: John 18:12–27

THEME FOR WORSHIP & SERMON

Simon Peter witnessed much of Christ’s ministry on earth. He is featured in many highlights of the four Gospels, but today we see Peter at his lowest point, as he denies Jesus three times. The result of Peter’s denial is a massive amount of guilt. Each of us can relate to that unwanted flood of self-disgust that comes when we remember past sin. But guilt is not the final word for Peter, and it is not the final word for us. After His resurrection, Jesus restores and forgives Peter. Jesus offered Peter grace. Jesus also gives us grace, forgiveness, and restoration at the cross.
