Worship
Prayer Warriors
30 minutes before Sunday school begins, a faithful group of prayer warriors gathers to pray for each other, the congregation, the pastor, the teachers, the nation, and the world.
Communion
In the Moravian Church we practice open communion. All who are professing Christians and understand the meaning of this holy meal are welcome to receive these symbols of Jesus’ body and blood given for our sins.
Lovefeast
The Lovefeast is a service of hymns and prayer accompanied by a simple meal usually consisting of a sweetened bun and a mug of coffee. Dieners–men and women of the church–serve these to the worshipping congregation. At the Christmas lovefeast, the first of which was held for children on December 24, 1747, a lighted, beeswax candle with a red, crepe-paper ruff is given to each worshipper. The beeswax of the candle represents the purity of Christ; the flame, the light of love that Christ brought into a darkened world; and the red ruff the blood of Christ.
