THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life." (John 14:6)
Karl Barth was lecturing to a group of students at Princeton. One student asked the German theologian "Sir, don’t you think that God has revealed himself in other religions and not only in Christianity?" Barth’s answer stunned the crowd. With a modest thunder he answered, "No, God has not revealed himself in any religion, including Christianity. He has revealed himself in his Son."
The early followers of Jesus were known as "The Way!" And rightly so, for Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Let us not look to our own ways but to the Ways of Jesus and we will find the Truth that will open the door to the Life that has been set free from fear. Walk, listen, and live in the light of God's love that brings forth the very best in everyone. May we surrender our ways to Jesus and invite him to be our guide and show us the honest to goodness truth that will set us free to love unconditionally. For in this WAY we learn to love as he first loved us! Now may the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with us all! And "May thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Amen.

About our Pastor
Welcome from Pastor G. Andreas Armstrong
I am presently serving the people of Zion and Bethel Churches in Lovettsville, 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 at our Lovettsville church. 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!
