Chapel Springs produces unique Christmas CD, offers free concert in Stafford

By Potomac Local News

Christmas music is so popular that many radio stations start playing holiday tunes before Thanksgiving. So giving away free CDs of Christmas music is a perfect way to invite people to celebrate Christmas at Chapel Springs Church, which has campuses in Bristow and Stafford.

Matchless King is the title of the newly-released CD written and produced by Chapel Springs Worship Pastor Josh Wesley and several key members of the church’s worship team. The CD takes a different approach from most Christmas CDs, though, because it tells the story not just of Jesus Christ’s birth, but God’s plan to redeem mankind through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Woodbridge Realtor’s ‘Christmas Eve in Washington’ still a fan favorite

By Potomac Local News

This year marks the 33rd year of “Christmas Eve in Washington” — the region’s very own Christmas carol.

Christmas Eve in Washington was a hit written in about 20 minutes by Woodbridge native Maura Sullivan. In the early 1980s, Sullivan was a frequent guest on a local Washington D.C radio station, WMZQ. During her segment, 10 random ideas would be taken from listeners to make a silly song. The next morning she would perform the song.

Huckabee visits Woodbridge, says U.S. at war with ‘radical Islam’

By Uriah Kiser

Mike Huckabee urged voters in Woodbridge to sign a petition to get him on the ballot, whether they end up voting for him or not.

The former Arkansas Governor said Virginia is the most difficult state to get a candidate’s name on a ballot. Unlike some states that require paying the appropriate fees that range between $20 and $40,000, or by simply submitting one’s name — the commonwealth requires a proportionate number of signatures from each congressional district before a candidate’s name is placed on the ballot, said Huckabee.

Ten years ago it might have been hard for many people to imagine being able to send a digital file to a printer and producing a three-dimensional object. However, this advanced technology is becoming more widely used in many different industries and is inspiring innovations like 3D-printed cars that can drive and medical devices that can save lives.

Today, Manassas-based Aurora Flight Sciences is taking this technology one step further. The company unveiled the world’s largest and fastest 3D-printed, unmanned aircraft at the Dubai Airshow in November. This high-speed, jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flies faster than 150 miles per hour.
