Only One Service this Sunday, Dec. 28th - 10am


Greetings from Charleston, West Virginia! As I write this post I am at my sister-in-law's house waiting for the start of the West Virginia vs. North Carolina Bowl Game. I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did too!

Now down to business...
This Sunday, December 28th there will be only ONE WORSHIP SERVICE @ 10:00 AM. I am excited to say that my lovely wife, Kate Hopta, will once again be joining me as a Worship Leader as we all come together to celebrate the Lord's Day. The sermon this Sunday is taken from Luke 2:22-40 which tells of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus going to the Temple to make a sacrifice for the purification of Mary. When we read this scripture in light of the Advent season we encounter two main points: that Simeon and others have been waiting for the Messiah for their entire lives and that when the Messiah did come he would be raised and brought up in poverty. My hope is that we can explore how these two points help us understand who Jesus is and what his life means for how we look at our own lives. I hope you can make it to worship at 10 AM on Sunday.

Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! Go Mountaineers!
Peace,
Brett
