Steeple to the People
Bethel Lutheran Church
The “Steeple to People” initiative began in 2021, by taking worship out of the church building and directly to a few of their members who couldn’t attend regular service. A need was seen, and an initiative was formed. Since then, the program has worked to, “...share God’s love with hugs, words of encouragement, prayers, stories, humor and laughter meeting in living rooms, basements, garages [and even] greenhouses.” The change allowed people to continue their personal relationship with God regardless of their mobility and circumstances. If you or others you know would like a chance to partake in some “off-site” worship with our Steeple to People, please reach out by calling Pastor Armstrong at 703-938-9444 or emailing Steeple2people@aol.com. They’re happy to meet you where you are on a Sunday for a 30-minute gathering around 11:30 am. Friends and family welcome! They’d love for you to know that “God loves you, and so do we!”.

Thought for Your Day
“Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling”
Luke 15:1-32 - The Prodigal Son
1. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me;
see, on the portals he's waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.
Refrain: Come home, come home; you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!
2.Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies, mercies for you and for me? [Refrain]
3.Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me;
shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, coming for you and for me. [Refrain]
4. O for the wonderful love he has promised, promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me. [Refrain]

About our Pastor
Welcome from Pastor G. Andreas Armstrong
I am presently serving the people of Zion and Bethel Churches and what a blessing it has been! God has also blessed me with a wonderful wife and two grown children, our daughter who lives and teaches school with her husband in Costa Rica and who have brought into our lives two wonderful grandchildren, and a son who works as a bartender in California (serving others like his dad?). I have had the pleasure of serving churches in Texas, North Carolina and Virginia since 1982 as part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America before coming here. God is indeed good.
There is so much more we can do when we serve together. That blessing becomes a reality when I, the only one at Church who is designated in writing as a part-time minister, am joined by everyone else here as full-time ministers. We take that calling seriously. I pray you will too if you consider joining this wonderfully blessed team of ministers to live out your faith, hope and love through Zion and Bethel Lutheran Churches. We are called in Christ Jesus our Lord to share the love of Christ from one generation to the next. Let’s do it!
God loves you and so do I!
