The Fifth Sunday in Lent
March 17, 2024
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 Adult Bible study at 9:15 am, then our 10:30 am Worship service. Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, 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 this worship service:

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
Historically Sunday marks the beginning of Passiontide, a week where the liturgical focus gradually shifts like the ocean tides. Our focus changes from a period of repentance, turning to the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, which begins next Sunday. Our annual journey to the cross is nearing their climax, as is the Gospel itself. Jesus is walking ahead, going up to Jerusalem with disciples in tow, to accomplish the very purpose for which He was born. It’s a death march, but the disciples don’t yet get it, and don’t want any part of it. Neither do we.
