Festival of August 13th Holy Communion - August 15
In the summer of 1727, Moravians and other Christians living on the German estate of Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf experienced a dramatic spiritual renewal following many months of conflict and strife. They were gathered in the Lutheran Church in the village of Berthelsdorf on August 13 when during a service of Holy Communion, they felt the presence of the Risen Christ so realistically that a thrilling joy lead them to a newfound love for one another. On this day, they laid aside their disagreements to share a unity of souls that gave new life to their community in the neighboring village of Herrnhut. And now the Savior invites us to meet him as we gather at his table on August 15 to celebrate the Holy Communion during our 11:00 worship.

Potluck Music This Summer - August 18

Back to School Lovefeast - August 22
Our worship this day will be a Lovefeast celebrating our call to teach and learn. Education has long been a hallmark of the Moravian Church. In our earliest days, literacy was regarded as a necessary key to unlock the truths contained in the Scriptures, and in most cases a Moravian school operated within a Moravian church. Bishop John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) not only believed that education should be offered to all classes and both genders, but that it was also a path to world peace and universal good will. Our legacy of education lives on in the vast number of Moravian educators sharing the wisdom and love of Christ in schools around the world. We are blessed to have a good number of these teaching professionals as members of our congregation. We would like to include the names of all our teachers, educational administrators and other school employees on a bulletin insert this day. Please contact the church office to provide names for this list.
