Stotzer Family Fund Scholars:
Fall Internship Opportunities for Students!
Your Moravian Music Foundation is offering a limited number of paid FALL internships. Our Stotzer Family Fund Summer Scholars did a tremendous job, but alas, the summer internships are ending. If you are 18 or older with some musical knowledge, please apply! You do not need to be Moravian or affiliated with the Moravian church to apply.
Join women of Home Church this fall for fellowship and a little fitness through our monthly walk series. We typically walk 2 to 3 miles and finish either at a nearby coffee shop or with a parking lot tailgate. Ready to sign up? Click here. You will receive more details about each walk the week before it takes place; if the weather necessitates that the walk be cancelled, you’ll be notified via email. Need more information? Contact Laura Watson (sidesofla@aol.com). We’re looking forward to covering a few miles together over the months ahead!

Serving meals at Samaritan Ministries – Sunday, September 14th
414 E NW Blvd, Winston-Salem, NC 27105
Sunday, September 14th, as part of the Moravian Day of Service, we will serve lunch and dinner to the guests of Samaritan Ministries. We need your help with lunch where we may serve as many as 300 guests. We have partnered with this organization for many years and they specifically asked for our hands-on help. They provide food, shelter and hope through Christian love, 365 days a year. Let’s give them one day! We don’t even have to cook – they have staI for that so that we can remain focused on our guests. If you can handle a serving spoon and a plate, you are qualified to serve. Contact Sarah Jennings with any questions.
The Winston-Salem CROP Hunger Walk is on Sunday, October 19. Home Moravian Church invites you to join in the fight against hunger by registering to walk with us or donating at https://events.crophungerwalk.org/crophungerwalks/team/home-moravian-church
