Maundy Thursday Worship

March 28, 2024

We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!

We gathered for worship on this Thursday of the holiest of weeks.  If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us in-person tomorrow for Good Friday worship at 4pm or 7pm.  You can also watch our services live on Facebook or later on Pilgrim's website.

Here is information about today's worship service:

BIBLE READINGS FOR WORSHIP

   Old Testament:  Exodus 12:1–14
                Psalm:  Psalm 116:12–19
               Epistle:  1 Corinthians 11:23–32
               Gospel:  John 13:1–17, 31b–35

THEME FOR WORSHIP

Reading and studying during this holiest of weeks, a smile crept over my weary face.  The events of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday seem a bit out of order, to my limited way of thinking.  Redemption was accomplished at Calvary, but it is delivered to the disciples & us in the upper room during this intimate gathering of Christ and His dearly loved children.  

And so on this Maundy Thursday, God gives us a new mandatum or command, that we should love our neighbors with sacrificial, life-denying love.  Far more powerful than feet-washing, Jesus hands over to us the supper of the New Testament.  Jesus gives to you & me His body and blood for the forgiveness of our sins.  This is not the Church’s meal, it is the Lord’s supper, the supper of the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
