OUR LIFE TOGETHER IN WORSHIP

May 2, Fifth Sunday of Easter. Come and join your voices in praise of our Risen Lord as we celebrate Moravian Music Sunday with a Lovefeast. May God be glorified in our worship and music today!

May 9, Sixth Sunday of Easter. Our worship today will include a special time of prayer and thanksgiving for Mother's Day. We will receive our Joyful Noise offering for Adopt-A-Village in Tanzania, and the Children's Mission Project – the sale of Moravian sugarcake will raise funds to pay for postage for Operation Christmas Child.

May 16, Ascension Sunday and the Seventh Sunday of Easter. Today we celebrate Christ's ascension into heaven after his resurrection and numerous resurrection appearances to the disciples. Through a pulpit exchange, we will welcome The Rev. Darrell Johnson, pastor of the Gnaden Moravian Church, who will bring the day's sermon. Pastor Sue Koenig will be preaching at Gnaden and sharing the story of her trip to India in October 2009.

May 23, The Day of Pentecost. This day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit – the Advocate Jesus promised to send to be with us forever, and the birth of the Church. Our worship will include a Service of Holy Communion for Pentecost. Our Choir and Children's Choir will conclude their seasons.

May 30, Trinity Sunday. With the greater church, we recognize this Sunday as one set aside to lift up the ways in which God comes to us: as loving heavenly Father, as Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, as the Holy Spirit, our guide and comforter. We will recognize those who have served our country in the various branches of the military with our liturgy for National Occasions. We will receive a second mile offering for Harbor House. Birthday Sunday follows our worship.

June 6, Second Sunday After Pentecost. Come enjoy a day at camp! Our worship will lift up our camping programs on this Prayer Day for Outdoor Ministries. Former campers will lead the service. We will recognize this year's graduates: Kyle Springer and Tammy Stafford.
