The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
July 17, 2022
We're glad & thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!
This was another exciting Sunday at Pilgrim Lutheran Church! Once again, we had lots of great activities going on, starting with our 10:30 am Worship Service. Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, while the children enjoyed Sunday School. These classes are full of activities and teaching, so the children learn how much God loves them!
If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us for any or all of these weekly events!
Here is information about todays worship service:
SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THIS SERVICE
Old Testament: Genesis 18:1–14
Psalm: Psalm 27:1–14
Epistle: Colossians 1:21–29
Gospel: Luke 10:38–42
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY
The gospel text for today describes Jesus’ visit to the home of Martha & Mary, who react to Jesus’ presence in two very different ways. These two sisters are familiar even to the anti-Christian culture around us; have you been called a “Martha”, as I have?
There are many popular misconceptions of this text, including the people and their actions. Rather than compare and evaluate the two sisters, we’ll focus on Jesus and His loving, grace-filled encouragement to receive His gifts; “the one thing necessary”, “the good portion”.
Psalm: Psalm 27:1–14
Epistle: Colossians 1:21–29
Gospel: Luke 10:38–42
