Retired Woodbridge Pastor Calls for Donations, Presents $12,000 Check to ACTS

On June 30th, Pastor David Bohannon preached his final sermon from the pulpit of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Woodbridge, retiring after over 40 years of service there.

From his arrival in October 1971 to begin a mission church in the Woodbridge area until his retirement, Pastor Bohannon focused his energies and enthusiasm upon building a church that would not only serve its members but would support and bless the surrounding community.

Every day, by his example, he taught his congregation to live out the words found in the New Testament book of James 2: 14-17: What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
