If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us on Sunday mornings! Anyone can watch our services live on Facebook or on Pilgrim's website.
Here is information about this worship service:
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Isaiah 56:1, 6–8
Psalm: Psalm 67
Epistle: Romans 11:1–2a, 13–15, 28–32
Gospel: Matthew 15:21–28
THEME FOR WORSHIP
In today’s Gospel reading, we find a Canaanite woman engaging Jesus in a very challenging conversation. You & I may have more in common with in this Canaanite woman than we realize. Their conversation raises questions which you & I must confront. Did Jesus come for you, or only for others? Is God’s mercy enough for you to be included? Does God even hear your prayers and cries? Will we be satisfied if we are only given crumbs from God’s table?
