Unity Prayer Watch – Today The Unity Prayer Watch is a continuous prayer chain in which each Moravian Church throughout the world is assigned a particular time to be in prayer for the needs of the Moravian Church. Olivet is assigned today, from 4:00 PM until midnight. Many of you signed up for a 15-minute time segment, so don’t forget to pray. In the Narthex, there is a printout of suggested topics to pray for, if you would like to review the list. From the Resolution 12 Steering Committee:
Psalm XIX

*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 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. 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 Terry Cochran and her family upon the death of her mother, Evelyn Clendenning on January 13th, and to Emily Dickey and her family upon the death of her father, Jeffrey H. Dickey who also died on January 13th.
