142nd Anniversary Celebration, November 11
Each November we
celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the First Moravian
Church. Much like our celebration of Christmas in December of
each year (nobody really knows the date of Jesus' birth), we
celebrate in November because it has become a tradition to do so.
The first Moravian service in our community was on May 4th in 1862,
and the congregation was actually formed on New Year's Eve, 1865.
So, once again, this
year, we invite you to plan on joining in the festivities for our
142nd Anniversary Celebration, on Sunday, November 11:
-
Worship with Holy
Communion at 11:00 AM
-
142nd Anniversary
Lovefeast at 4:00 PM
-
Celebration Dinner
following the afternoon service
We are pleased to invite
all of our friends and neighbors to a special, uniquely Moravian
celebration.
Adult Education Forum - Series 1: Personal
Finance
On three upcoming
Tuesday evenings, we will be holding the first of several Adult
Forums. This three-session workshop will be focused on
personal finance. The sessions are intended for adults, but

will be held:
Dates:
Tuesday, October 30, Tuesday November 6 and Tuesday, November 20
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Place: Hahle Hall
The subject matter will
be fairly basic. The sessions will cover the following:
-
Session one:
Financial Basics:
-
Session two:
Budgeting and Saving
-
Session three:
Basic investing for the future
The key to success of
these workshops will be lots of questions. Plan to come and
participate.
Dear Brothers and Sisters Mission Project
Two years ago, our
congregation made the commitment to adopt a village in Tanzania.
This adoption through the Dear Brothers and Sisters program is
structured in three year blocks of time with a commitment of $1,000 a
year to support the families caring for the orphans within Mlogolo.
The second year of our commitment resulted in our providing $1,000 for
our village and an additional $798.92 to be utilized elsewhere for other
children.
Additionally, the Board
of World Missions has established a prevention program for pregnant
women and an AIDS Orphan Support network in the Western Province of
Tanzania.
Thank you for helping to
care for the children so deeply affected by the AIDS epidemic and the
families that care for them.
Women's Fellowship
Our Women's Fellowship is
up and running, under the joint leadership of Leanne Fleming and Kris
Van Orden. Lots of activities are "in the works" for the coming
year. The next meeting will be held:
Date: Sunday,
November 25th
Time: 7:00 PM (Come at 6:00, bring a sandwich and enjoy
fellowship beforehand - drinks will be provided)
Place: Hahle Hall
Mid-Week Prayer Service
Each Wednesday evening we will be gathering for mid-week evening
prayer. The service begins at 6:15 PM. We will be spending time listening to prayerful
music, meditating in silence, reflecting on a text for the week and
engaging in intercessory prayer.
Those of us who have
participated in this service have found that it helps us maintain our
spiritual health. Plan on joining us if you can. All are
welcome. If 6:15 is too early for you, you may quietly join us
later. The service concludes at 7:00.
