The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
July 23, 2023
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 9:30 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! Anyone can watch our services live on Facebook or later on Pilgrim's website.
Here is information about today's worship service:

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP SUNDAY
Weeds, weeds, weeds. Today’s Gospel reading is Jesus’ Parable of the Weeds or Tares. The parable itself is pretty straightforward, and Jesus gives the specific explanation a few verses later. This is the first of several parables where Jesus teaches what …the kingdom of heaven is like…. This parable teaches us that the Son is at work now, even if we don’t see or understand it. The Son will complete His work at the end of time. In between, we’re called to trust Him and wait in faith for Him to take care of the weeds.
