Happy New Year from Farmville Baptist Church and the Farmville Baptist Podcast!
In this episode, recorded on New Year's Day 2023, Pastor Adam leads a contemplation of the stories of the Magi, Herod, and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. He suggests that this is the point in the story where Christmas gets real. Herod understands this - do we? And what part do we play in making Christmas real in our world today?

One of the exciting new partnerships Farmville Baptist Church is celebrating is the Farmville Youth Collective (FYC). This is a collaborative effort with Farmville United Methodist Church and Johns Memorial Episcopal Church to create a safe and spiritually-engaging space for teenagers in the Farmville community and the surrounding area. Rev. Cadance Tyler is the pastor for the FYC, and she and Rev. Susie Thomas (FUMC) and the Very Rev. Dr. Nancy Meck (JMEC) sit down with Pastor Adam to talk about the new ministry and their plans for the new year, and also share some last-minute Christmas shopping ideas.
You can find and follow the Farmville Youth Collective on Facebook (Farmville Youth Collective | Facebook). The Farmville Herald posted an article on the new ministry on November 9, 2022 (Town churches form youth collective - Farmville | Farmville (farmvilleherald.com)).

For the fourth Sunday of Advent, we look at the prophet Isaiah and the Gospel of Matthew to discover the power of God being with us in the midst of our darkest days. Pastor Adam explores the hope and comfort that was given to the besieged residents of Jerusalem, wonders how Joseph heard the angel's promise of Jesus being Immanuel (God with us), and encourages us to find the love of God in his presence with us. Sandy Yeatts and Craig Guthrie share two duets ("What Child is This" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful").

For the third Sunday of Advent, Isaiah invites the exiled people of God to imagine a future of joy in the midst of their own wilderness experience. Pastor Adam ponders how God brings joy in the midst of our own lives and how the way to joy is the way of Jesus. The sanctuary choir also shares "Long Awaited One," showcasing how Jesus fulfilled the joyous expectations of Isaiah and all the faithful ones who longed for the coming of the Messiah.

In addition to our Sunday worship, here at Farmville Baptist we believe that following Jesus means living faith out everyday and working in partnership with others. That's why, in addition to Sunday services and devotional thoughts, we are sharing conversations with ministry and mission partners, as well as highlighting folks in our congregation who are serving as the hands and feet of Jesus right where they are.
Pastor Adam's conversation with Patsy Watson fits both of those categories. Patsy is a long-time member of Farmville Baptist Church who is deeply involved in community ministry and service. Among her many ongoing projects, Patsy heads up the Farmville Interfaith organization, and this year, she is the Christmas Mother for Farmville and Prince Edward County. We are so grateful she was able to sit down over Zoom and have a chat with Pastor Adam about the good work that both of those programs accomplish in our community.

On the second Sunday of Advent, we hear the prophet Isaiah's longing for a righteous king and a peaceable kingdom. Pastor Adam explores the strangeness of this vision and how we long for an uncanny peace. The sanctuary choir also shares "Born to Be the Bread," an anthem to reflect on our communion with Christ during the Advent season.

On Christ the King Sunday, we hear the song of Zechariah at the birth of his son, John, from Luke 1:68-79. Pastor Adam leads us to explore how the King who Zechariah expected wasn't like other kings, and how, like Zechariah's son, we can be heralds of King Jesus.
