Message from Pastor Terry McCarthy
Blessings, my friends.
I am Pastor Terry McCarthy, blessed to serve as a pastoral presence alongside my colleague, Pastor Gwen King, for United Lutheran Seminary. I primarily serve members of the Gettysburg and distributed learning communities, but I am always available for anyone.I am blessed to be a child of our one God—whose faithfulness is forever—seen through creation, God’s loving instruction (the Law), the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, the sacraments, and the great cloud of friends and witnesses who walk with us in this life and those who have gone home to the Lord. It is God’s faithfulness we are called to remember and reflect to others.
