THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers"
1. Rejoice, rejoice, believers, and let your lights appear;
the evening is advancing, and darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising and soon is drawing nigh.
Up, pray and watch and wrestle; at midnight comes the cry.
2. The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near;
go forth, as he approaches, with alleluias clear.
The marriage feast is waiting; the gates wide open stand,
Arise, O heirs of glory; the Bridegroom is at hand.
3. You saints, who here in patience your cross and suff'rings bore,
shall live and reign forever when sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory the Lamb you shall behold,
in triumph lay before him your shining crowns of gold.
4. Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear;
arise, O Sun so longed for, above this shadowed sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted we plead, O Lord, to see
the day of earth's redemption that sets your people free.
You are invited: Come to the table for a foretaste of the feast to come. Our host is Jesus, our bridegroom. We are his guests and he awaits us. Come for bread and wine, body and blood shed that we may celebrate the Love God has for us all!

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!
