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. Today we observe Worldwide Communion Sunday and our service will include the celebration of Holy Communion. In the Moravian Church we practice open Communion and all Christians are invited to 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 the family and friends of Mary Howell Fearrington who passed away Friday, September 23.
