Guests leaders from various classes are scheduled
for short sessions on various phases of Christian teachings and Moravian history
and theology. Our orchestra plays at this time for each hymn sung.
Sunday School
10:00 AM
Immediately following our Church School begins our Sunday
School classes where dedicated teachers offer students of all ages the opportunity
to study and learn more about the Scriptures and the Christian faith. There are classes for all age groups; birth through
adulthood. The classes are taught by various class members throughout the year
and usually last anywhere from 30 to 45 minuets.
Fellowship
Fellowship is provided through the many organizations of the
church. There are gatherings for youth, the Women's Fellowship, Senior Friends,
and Girl Scouts. Talents can be used and expressed through the
choirs for children and adults; the Church School orchestra;
the church band; and other groups in the church. The worship,
education, and fellowship opportunities prepares our members
for service in the world.

Worship
10:55 AM
Our Sunday worship is neither formal nor informal. Our services
may be classified as semi-liturgical, falling somewhere
between the high liturgical practices and the free church
practices of worship.
To enrich our worship, we use liturgies to observe
the church year-Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Ascension,
Pentecost, and Trinity. Special reading services are held during Lent while
Holy Communion is celebrated in observance of the church year and
festivals of the church. Lovefeasts are scheduled periodically during special
times such as Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.
Worship at Christ Moravian Church is enhanced by a pulpit-centered
sanctuary. A large wooden cross above the pulpit holds a
handcarved Moravian seal bearing the Latin inscription, "Our Lamb has
conquered, let us follow Him." The surrounding wooden arch is topped with
an embossed Moravian star. Stained glass windows on three sides of the sanctuary
contain many of the symbols of the Christian Church. A pipe organ located in
the rear balcony of the sanctuary accompanies the choir and congregational
singing. A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers while Children's Church
is held for young children.
The most important factor in our worship are the people
who cherish the traditions of the church and who come together in love and unity
in Christ, forming the congregation of Christ Moravian Church.
If you like what you have heard, and would be interested in joining in membership
with us, we would be more than happy to welcome you into our family!
