*If you are able, please stand. A Cordial Welcome is extended to all who worship today at Olivet Moravian Church. If you are looking for a church home, we hope you will consider becoming a part of our church. If you would like to join our church, please call the church office at 336.924.8063. Before the service speak to the Lord; during the service let the Lord speak to you; and after the service speak to one another. Today we begin our celebration of the August 13th Festival of the Moravian Church as we remember the spiritual renewal of the Moravian Church that took place on August 13, 1727. This morning’s service will include the celebration of Holy Communion. All who profess Christ as Lord and Saviour are invited to partake. The pastor and acolytes will distribute the wafer and juice to you in the pew and after all have been served, we will partake together. We thank Mrs. Mary Beard for filling in while Fred is away. We hope you experience God’s blessing in your time with us today and throughout this week. We also hope you will return and worship with us again. Chancel Flowers The flowers in the sanctuary are given to the glory of God by Pastor Matthew Allen in memory of his parents, Bobby and Elizabeth Allen, who were married at Olivet on August 12, 1967. Yesterday would have been their 50th wedding anniversary.
