The Second Sunday of Easter

April 24, 2022

We're glad & thankful you've come here to watch our service and 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 10:30 am Worship Service.  Afterward, we gathered for food, conversations, and an adult Bible class, in which we're studying Revelation, one of the most fascinating books of the Bible.  If you'd like to watch a video of this Bible Study, please contact Pastor Mark.  We also have Sunday School for children of all ages, full of activities and teaching of God's love for them!

If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us for any or all of these great events!

Here is information about todays worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS 

             First Reading:  Acts 5:12–32

                        Psalm:  Psalm 148
        Second Reading:  Revelation 1:4–18
                       Gospel:  John 20:19–31

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP 
In today’s Gospel text we read the familiar account of Thomas, forever known for his initial doubting of Jesus’ resurrection.  But Thomas only became well-known because he spoke his fear while so many others simply lived theirs.  Mary, Peter and the others all doubted as well, but only Thomas is famous for his doubting!

How does Jesus respond to their & our doubting?  In all these folks, and in my life also, I am so thankful that Jesus comes persistently and patiently to us, His doubting children.  Then, now, and forever, Jesus remains the center of His story, even if we don’t always see Him.  It’s all about Jesus, even when He is hidden from our eyes!

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY
The women came to Jesus’ tomb on the first Easter morning, full of confusion and fear from the events of the preceding days.   From the joy of Palm Sunday to the horror of Good Friday, it is hard to imagine how confused and afraid they were.  And then, finding the tomb open and empty and speaking to the angels?  Wow!  But the angels’ words changed their confusion and fear into faith and hope.  “He is not here, but has risen.”
Our lives are also full of confusion and fear, as we gather at the empty tomb and give thanks and praise for Jesus’ resurrection.  God’s words also speak to us today:  He is NOW here!  Jesus has risen!

Good Friday Tenebrae Worship

April 15, 2022

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

This Tenebrae worship service celebrates Good Friday, the day which was very good for us, in that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins.  Tenebrae is a Latin word meaning darkness.  The mood and lighting will decrease as the service proceeds, and we will leave in subdued lighting and somber silence.

       First Reading:   Isaiah 52:13 - 52:12

  Second Reading:  Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:7-9

   Gospel Reading:  John 18 & 19
