Nelson County, Virginia

Thanks to John Taylor for sending us this photo with a view from above Tuesday morning. Dense fog settled into the valley sections overnight Monday into the wee early morning hours of Tuesday.

Conditions will slowly become partly sunny as the day wears on with temps very mild, reaching the mid 60’s in the valley and lower 50’s on the mountains. By the late afternoon hours winds will begin to shift to the northwest and increase as colder temperatures move in behind a cold front working across the area. Temps will begin a slow fall late today as well behind the front. Lows tonight will be colder, back into the upper 20’s in the valley and lower 20’s in the mountains.

Blue Christmas Service @ Rock Spring UMC : 12.20.09 @ 6:30 PM

Event Image
A “Blue” Christmas Service at Rock Spring United Methodist Church, Faber, VA.

Blue? Yes, blue as in the blues. As in “I am feeling blue.” Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other dis-ease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful.

If you would like to have an opportunity to be real…to be “you” this Christmas, then maybe this service is for you?

Where: Rock Spring United Methodist Church

When: Sunday, December 20, 2009 @ 6:30pm

What to expect:
singing songs and reading Scripture that relates to honest human emotions; prayer and meditation, and the lighting of candles in remembrance of loved ones.

Please, come as you are.

Event Date: Sunday 20th of December 2009 06:30 PM

Location/Address: 1655 Rock Spring Road, Faber, VA 22938
