Children’s Festival Lovefeast August 18th
Join us for worship on Sunday. August 18th as we celebrate a special Lovefeast service at 11 AM. Following the August 13th spiritual renewal of 1727, the children of the Moravian settlement of Herrnhut had a similar awakening. The late Bishop Kenneth G. Hamilton wrote in his book, History of the Moravian Church the following:
The whole experience can be attributed…to the keen interest taken in the spiritual development of their children by the leaders of Herrnhut, Zinzendorf in chief. These men and women did not regard inner life of the young with that condescension too often shown by adults. They held that in the things of the spirit, the Lord could use a little child to lead elder persons.
Holy Communion This Sunday
We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion at our 11 AM worship service on Sunday, August 11th. Our Communion celebration is in remembrance of the Renewal of the Moravian Church in 1727.
