*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. This morning we celebrate Holy Communion in observance of the Chief Elder Festival. On November 13, 1741 it was announced to all Moravian congregations that Christ was the Head of our Church. Moravians practice open communion. All are invited to partake together after the pastor and acolytes have served you in the pew. 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 the family of Russell G. Beck, Jr. who died on Saturday, November 7th.
