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 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. Our congregation extends its Christian love and sympathy to Doug Spainhour and his family upon the death of his father, Byron Spainhour on August 3rd. Chancel Flowers The flowers in the sanctuary are given to the glory of God by Doris Snyder and Josh Snyder in memory of Neal Snyder, who celebrates his 66th birthday in heaven today. Happy Birthday to our husband and dad!
