Hayn I am Jesus’ little lamb; Ever glad at heart I am; For my Shepherd gently guides me, Knows my need and well provides me, Loves me ev’ry day the same, Even calls me by my name.
In Celebration of the Children’s Festival of the Moravian Church
Olivet Moravian Church September 24, 2017 Band Prelude
Day by day, at home, away, Jesus is my staff and stay. When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow.
Chiming of the Hour Call to Worship
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing. Mr. Adam Goodrich
Psalm 145:1-8 Jonah 3:10-4:11
Message
Is It Right For You To Be Angry?
Page 506 Page 753 Mr. Goodrich
Diademata (595 C) Now in the days of youth, when life flows fresh and free, Thou Lord of all our hearts and lives, we give ourselves to Thee; Our fervent gift receive, and fit us to fulfill, Through all our days, in all our ways, our Heavenly Father’s will. Teach us wher-e’er we live to act as in Thy sight, And do what Thou wouldst have us do with radiant delight; Not choosing what is great, nor spurning what is small, But take, as from Thy hands, our tasks and glorify them all.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, And all the twinkling starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer Than all the angels heaven can boast. Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, praise, adoration, Now and forever more be Thine. Prayer, Welcome and Announcements A Cordial Welcome is extended to all who worship today at Olivet Moravian Church. If you are a visitor, please sign the Guest Book in the Narthex and fill out a visitor’s card in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate. 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. (Serving of Lovefeast) Hayn (82 D)
Spirit of Christ, do Thou our first bright days inspire, That we may live the life of love and loftiest desire And be by Thee prepared for larger years to come And for the life ineffable within the Father’s home.
Jesus makes my heart rejoice I’m His sheep and know His voice; He’s a Shepherd, kind and gracious, And His pastures are delicious, Constant love to me He knows, Yea, my very name He knows.

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.
Who is happy as I am; Even now the shepherd’s lamb? And when my short life is ended, By His angel host attended, He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest. Children’s Message

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. The Children’s Lovefeast In August we celebrated the August 13th Festival of the Moravian Church as we remembered the spiritual renewal event of the early Moravians on August 13, 1727 in the community of Herrnhut, Germany. The blessing of that event over 280 years ago also poured out upon the children. Many of the children of Herrnhut also experienced a time of spiritual renewal in their lives which some Moravian churches observe a special Children’s Festival. At Olivet we have our Children’s Sunday as a time to celebrate how our children and youth are a special part of our church family and how they are able to experience the Lord through the ministry of this church. As with many of our celebrations, we share the Moravian tradition of a lovefeast. Chancel Flowers The flowers in the sanctuary are given to the glory of God and in honor of our children and youth at Olivet by Matthew Allen.

Sometimes they need to go to the grocery store or to an appointment, or just to get out of the house for a break. It is important that caregivers have this time so that they don’t wear out taking care of their loved ones. Olivet would like to form a group of volunteers who would be willing to sit with folks for a couple hours at a time while their caregiver runs errands, etc. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please let Pastor Matthew know.
