Christ as Chief Elder Communion – November 13, 2022
Join us on Sunday, November 13th as we celebrate Christ as Chief Elder Communion. On November 13, 1741 announcement was made in all Moravian congregations that Jesus Christ had been chosen Chief Elder of the Moravian Church. The Moravian Church has had no single human chief executive since then, and now observes this as a festival day on the Sunday closest to November 13th by celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Worship begins at 11 AM on Sunday morning. We hope to see you here! In addition, we will be holding our annual Church Council during worship this Sunday as well.

Our women are continuing to reach out to our community. Thanks to Doug Conrad for building our Sharing Box and to Robbie Disher for the wonderful artwork.

A Statement from the Worldwide Moravian Church
Available in PDF format for download is a statement from the worldwide Moravian Church (the Unity) from the President of the Unity Board, the Rev. Dr. Cortroy Jarvis, and the Unity Board Administrator, the Rev. D. Jørgen Bøytler. This statement expresses concern, as a matter of Christian principle, about recent statements by President Trump, and especially in light of our Moravian presence in many of the places to which the President’s comments referred. For example, Haiti has been for some years a Unity Mission Area of our church, under the care of the Jamaican and the Eastern West Indies Provinces; about 75% of the Moravians in the world live in Africa; and, 20% in the Caribbean and Central America. We encourage you to read, reflect upon, pray about, and to share this statement as you feel led. The statement can be found below:

Prayers for Sutherland Springs

We are grateful that even as we share in the joy of Christ Jesus, we can also share abundantly in comfort in the midst of suffering. (Intercessions in Times of Crisis)
