All Saints Sunday
November 6, 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
First Reading: Revelation 7:9-17
Psalm: Psalm 149
Epistle: 1 John 3:1-3
Gospel: Matthew 5:1–12
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP SUNDAY
As many of you know, God has recently blessed Debra & I with our first grandchild. I’m reminded of something we’ve all known for years; there is great interest in announcing who a new baby looks like! "She has her dad’s nose, or ears!" or "He has his mother’s eyes!" For many of us, physical appearances or actions or personalities identify us with our family our entire lives. “Wow, you can sure tell she’s a fill-in-a-last-name!”

In the Epistle lesson for today, God uses the words written by St. Paul to remind us of our family connection: we are His children! Not because we have a nose or ears that look like God, but because God has shown & given us His amazing love! God has made you and me His saints, joined with all His other saints who have walked this earth before us and are now in the heavenly choir. What a privilege and gift we have, to be called saints, to be children of God!
