The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

September 11, 2022

We're 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, conversations, and Adult Bible study, 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 on Sunday mornings!

Here is information about today's worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

Old Testament: Ezekiel 34:11–24

Psalm: Psalm 119:169–176
Epistle: 1 Timothy 1:5–17
Gospel: Luke 15:1–10

THEME FOR WORSHIP
St Luke describes the scene; amid grumbling religious elites, lots of sinners were drawing near to hear Jesus call them to repent and be saved. Jesus was even eating with them, pointing toward the eternal feasting which will result from their salvation. Jesus then teaches the beautiful parable of the Lost Sheep, describing how faithful shepherds will seek, rescue and restore even just ONE lost sheep. What a comforting image of what Jesus, the perfect Shepherd does for you and me and all His lost children!

Can you be a faithful shepherd and stir up some incredible joy in heaven? With whom can you share confession of sins and forgiveness? Who do you know who is lost in a sin, or does not yet know Jesus? Can you seek diligently like the joyful woman, and help someone become found by their Savior?
