The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost
October 15, 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
In our text today it appears at first glance that God is giving us three different teachings. First, we read “…do not be anxious about anything…”. Really? How do we do that? Second, we read a long list of things we should think about and practice. Really? Easy to read, hard to do. Lastly, we’re told to be content, like Paul has learned to do. OK, sometimes we are but in any and every circumstance...? That’s another tall order for you & me. So what is the thread in this text that ties these things together and gives us peace and strengthens us?
