The Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost
October 29, 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
At some point, we’ve all probably been on shaky ground; perhaps a rickety old chair, a rotted board on a dock or floor, possibly crossing a stream by jumping rock-to-rock. Shaky ground is dangerous. Spiritually, we live in a world & culture that offers even worse, a sinking sand which traps and kills. This is no mystery since the devil desires one thing: the spiritual death of all people. For Luther, “…hordes of devils fill the land, all threatening to devour us.” But more powerful than all the devil and his hordes, Jesus gives us the only firm foundation for our lives. Today we’ll hear His good news in John 8:31-32.
