RHMC Church Anniversary Sunday
On July 27, 1923, nine women met in the home of Mr. & Mrs. W. E. Stauber to form the Rural Hall Moravian Ladies Aid Society. The charter members of the Society were: Mrs. Stauber, President; Mrs. S. S. Flynt, Vice President; Mrs. A. T. Cox, Miss Lily Lash, Mrs. E. S. Felts, Miss Eunice Flynt (Mrs. Ancus Payne), Miss Helen Flynt (Mrs. Sandy Wall), Miss Maude Felts (Mrs. Ed Sweetman), and Miss Edith Shore (Mrs. Edith H. Sharp). The ladies drew up a constitution and declared that the objective of the society would be to promote fellowship and be united for service.
From this organization grew the Rural Hall Moravian Sunday School and Church, a member of the body of churches forming the oldest Protestant denomination. The church was formally organized as a congregation of the Moravian Church in America, Southern Province, on Sunday, May 3, 1931. This date is officially recognized as the anniversary of our congregation.
We invite the community to join us for this annual celebration of our anniversary service and share in our local history, as well as our Moravian tradition of a lovefeast - the sharing of a simple bun and sweet coffee.
