Occoquan to Hold Annual Blessing Service Sunday

This year, the annual Occoquan Town Blessing will take place Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at the church on the corner of Commerce and Washington Streets. The beloved tradition, held in a historic church, is hosted by members of Ebenezer Baptist Church. 

Last year, Rev. Charles Lundy led the service, which included comments from Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta, a reading of Luke 2, and worship music from the choir. 

After the town is blessed for another year, Madigan's Waterfront will host a free town holiday party on the second floor of the restaurant.
