Steeple to 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 THE DAY
"O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee”
1. O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
2. Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3. Teach me thy patience; still with thee
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong;
4. In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.

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!
