“Labourers in the Vineyard" Eugène Burnand 1850-1921
The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 24, 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:
BIBLE READINGS FOR SUNDAY
Old Testament: Isaiah 55:6–9

Epistle: Philippians 1:12–14, 19–30

Epistle: Philippians 1:12–14, 19–30

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
“That’s not fair!” “I deserve more than she does!” Words like these are more common to us than we’d like to admit in Christian company. You don’t have to teach humans to notice when things seem unfair. In today’s Gospel text, Jesus teaches us what the kingdom of God is like, but with our minds set on the things of man, this parable is confusing & even frustrating. By setting our minds on the things of God, what will we understand about God’s fairness and generosity?
