The word community has many definitions. A unified body of individuals is one.
A unified body of individuals describes the Home Moravian community. Each member
sharing unique gifts for a common purpose.
The community of Home Moravian embraced Michelle and me when we attended the baptism celebration of Anne and Jack Curlett’s grandson Mason.
We recently moved to the area and had attended many churches. We were both raised in the church and we knew this was important and necessary to our family. Michelle was raised in the Catholic Church and I was raised in the Episcopal Church. We were seeking a community that reinforced our similarities yet allowed our differences. We found ourselves at Home every Sunday. It did not take long before we knew HOME MORAVIAN was right for our family. In May of 2007 we joined the church and last November Madeline and Harrison were baptized - Much to the delight of our family.
The psychiatrist and author, M. Scott Peck describes a true community as one that is inclusive and nonjudgmental; realistic and willing to examine itself and be accountable for its imperfections; a place of safety for all of its members, who can disagree and not be paralyzed by the disagreement. Home Moravian exemplifies this.
As members of Home community our individual gifts and talents are valued. We come together to support each other’s needs. We unite with other organizations to serve the needs of the larger community.
Home Moravian has made us feel connected, comfortable and complete.
