Because Jesus came, Christmas still comes to the mountains. Jesus comes to the valleys too... the unavoidable hard seasons of life. These are hard days for a lot of people. The loss and destruction so many experienced during Hurricane Helene, and now in the aftermath, is so disorienting. Overwhelming. But hope is here! And brighter days are ahead. There is unshakable hope to be found right in the middle of sadness, and there is bright light to live by through the darkest of days. The hope we long for is Jesus. The Light of the World we need is Jesus. He was born to us a baby in a manger. He is with us now as the Savior. Jesus is the ever-present help in our times of need and our times of plenty. He is constant through every win and through every single loss. Christmas is the promise that Jesus is enough through every season.
Christmas at Mount Vernon will probably look a little different this year. But one thing will always stay the same… the good news that Jesus came to save. This is the good news of the gospel! And it is the glorious announcement the angels proclaimed to the shepherds, and it is the greatest news we could ever hope to hear...
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior who is Christ the Lord.” - Luke 2:11

Advent
Sunday Mornings starting December 1
Historically, Advent has been a marked season drawing the Believer's attention and focus upon the significance surrounding the arrival of Christ. And in the midst of our materialistic and chaotic culture, I can't think of anything better to aim towards this season. Advent has the potential to slow down your hyperspeed holidays and focus you and yours upon the historical event that changes everything.
