The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
July 3, 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: Isaiah 66:10–14
Psalm: Psalm 66:1–7
Epistle: Galatians 6:1–10, 14–18
Gospel: Luke 10:1–20
OUR THEME FOR THIS WORSHIP SERVICE
Out of jealousy and rage caused by his own sin, Cain killed his brother Abel and became mankind’s first murderer (Genesis 4). When the LORD asked Cain “Where is your brother?” he infamously replied, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” Over the centuries, many people have used this phrase to deflect responsibility, hide guilt and ignore others. Perhaps you’ve said these words at some point, either seriously or light-heartedly.

In the Epistle for today, Paul teaches the congregations in Galatia a different attitude. Within the family of Christian believers, Christian brothers (and sisters!), we are our brothers’ keepers! Through Paul, God calls us to restore anyone who sins, to bear one another’s burdens and to examine our own works and bear our own load.
How do these commands apply to you and me today?
Peace to you on this, the Lord's Day!
