The 22nd Sunday after Pentecost
October 20, 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
Sometimes Jesus’ teaching is challenging because it is unclear. Consider Luke 16:9, Matthew 10:34 and Luke 14:26 as examples. In today’s Gospel, Jesus’ teaching isn’t challenging because it’s confusing. It is problematic because it is clear. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” [Mark 10:25] The clear message from Jesus is that wealth and the reign of Jesus have a conflicted relationship. The dialog which follows with Peter reveals even greater truths about our lives in God’s kingdom.
