THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Children of the Heavenly Father"
1. Children of the heav'nly Father,
Safely in his bosom gather;
Nesting bird nor star in Heaven
Such a refuge e'er was given.
2.God his own doth tend and nourish;
In his holy courts they flourish.
From all evil things he spares them;
In his mighty arms he bears them.
3.Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
Unto them his grace he showeth,
And their sorrows all he knoweth.
4. Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne’er forsaken;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them, pure and holy.
Some wonderful and powerful stories were shared today and so I invite you to ask your father about his father and what he learned and what he chose to do differently with his own children. Have you said, "I Love You!" to your dad recently? God loves him, and you, and so do I! Happy Father's Day, Dads!

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!
