So churches in the D.C. area are falling all over themselves inviting president-elect Barack Obama and his family to become members. See Churches Vie to Attract The Newest First Family – washingtonpost.com. Since Mr. Obama surely reads this blog, I need to make a pitch for our church.
Mr. Obama, I would like to welcome you to St. Athanasius Lutheran Church in nearby Vienna, Virginia. We are very small, but diverse. We can promise you profound liturgical worship. Powerful, rich preaching. A wonderful pastor who will give you and your family pastoral care.
Specifically, you will hear the Law and, above all, the Gospel at our church, the message about God incarnate crucified for our salvation. You will find absolution for your sins. You will receive teaching from the inerrant Word of God. Christ is really present at our congregation. We receive the Body and Blood of Christ, given for you, every Sunday.
