The Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany

February 23, 2025

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:

THEME FOR WORSHIP

Today’s reading from Genesis details the climax of Joseph’s life, one of obedience, patience and trust in God’s will.  A dead son is found alive, and everything changes for his brothers.  Through forgiveness and mercy, a family is reconciled, and their lives are saved.  Even more, the trajectory of the entire world changes; God preserves a remnant of His people, from which His Son Jesus would be born.  A few decades later, this dead Son is found alive, changing everything and reconciling all people through God the Father’s forgiveness and mercy.  What a blessed Epiphany for you and me!
