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. 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 share Communion. 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 and in honor of John Desmarais, Ian Simmons, and Conall Desmarais who celebrate birthdays this week by Rachel Desmarais.

Children’s Sunday – Next Sunday Our children are a special part of our congregation and next Sunday we will have Children’s Sunday. Part of our service will include sharing a lovefeast. We hope to have all our children and their families as we share in this special time of worship. Time to Tag Up! – Name Tags / Badges In an attempt to get to know people in the church other than those that always sit next to you in your "(un)official assigned seats" we have made name badges for everyone! The Elders have done this in an attempt to make us a friendlier church to visitors and assist Pastor Matthew as he continues to learn everyone's name. They will originally be placed in your mailboxes. If you enter and exit the church through the Sanctuary, upon leaving you can place your name badge in the designated box in the Narthex. When you return the following Sunday your name badge will be placed on a board in the Sanctuary Narthex. There will be name badge boxes at all of the entrances to put your badge in on your way out in case you forgot to place it back in your box. We hope you will use your name badges not just on Sundays but at other church functions. We do realize that not everyone wants to wear a name tag but we hope that it will be a good tool for some who want to participate. If you see that you haven't had a name badge printed, your child would like one or you are a regular visitor please sign the clipboard next to the Badge Return Box in the Narthex or one on the bench at the mailboxes. We will have one printed for you.
