THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes and the gifts that lined the cards! You are always so thoughtful and generous my blessed Zionites and Bethelites! I am blessed to be serving as your pastor! God loves you, and so do I!
Today's thought evolves around Entertaining and Hospitality. Karen Mains distinguishes between the two saying: Entertaining says, "I want to impress you with my home, my clever decorating, my cooking." Hospitality, seeking to minister, says, "This home is a gift from my Master. I use it as he desires." Hospitality aims to serve others, not self.
How was it with Jesus? He may have entertained some who were just looking for miracles, but he was so much more to those who were in need of healing, forgiveness, grace, mercy, love and compassion. He changed their lives as we are called to do through proclaiming "The Kingdom is here" and then putting our words into action by loving God and neighbor with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength.
May we be dispensers of "Random Acts of Kindness" that lead other to see the hospitality of Jesus and accept his invitation of salvation. Jesus whispers to all: "What's mine is yours!" Come and get it!!! God is love!!!

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!
