Ultimately, unlike the poor widow, “All we have to live on” is not our possessions at all, but “All we have to live on” is God’s free gift of the forgiveness of sins for Jesus’s sake that we receive through faith, in which gift of forgiveness of sins we live both now and forever.

The mission of Pilgrim Lutheran Church is to glorify God by receiving the forgiveness of sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and sharing that salvation through word and deed with those in our midst, in our community, and throughout the world.
