MANASSAS, Va. — In the building where once a daily newspaper was produced, vines now grow up the façade, grass grows up through cracks in the parking lot, and a sign still hangs on the front door of 9009 Church Street stating all deliveries need to be taken around back.
But no one has occupied the old Manassas Journal Messenger building since the newspaper, which changed its name to News & Messenger after combining with the Potomac News of Woodbridge, ceased publication in 2012.
NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — The Aquia Volunteer Rescue Squad building and the land it sits on will soon belong to Stafford County.
A deal brokered between the gated community’s Aquia Harbour Property Owners Association and local government officials will lead to the 22-year-old building, known as Station 9, being upgraded within the next 10 years, according to county documents. Volunteers and career fire fighters from Stafford County will continue to use the building for fire and rescue operations.
It is a great pleasure to announce that Chris Bowman has accepted the call from the Manassas Church of the Brethren congregation to become our next Pastor. Pastor Bowman will begin his new role effective September 1, 2014.
Pastor Chris comes to us with over 27 years of experience. Chris has served as Pastor of the Oakton Church of the Brethren since 2004 following pastorates in Pennsylvania and Illinois.
