Something New in the New Year….
Church Family Life is inviting YOU to be a part of a ministry called “A Caring Word”. We hope that you will come and learn about how you can participate in sending cards and/or notes to our brothers and sisters who are either currently “At Home”, are in need of words of encouragement, congratulations, welcome, sympathy, or simply “we miss you”! Please join us in the Parlor on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 10:30 to learn more about this important ministry.
If you cannot join us for the meeting, but are interested in learning more about how you can be a part of this ministry, please contact Debbie Drake
March is a great time to come out and hear two lectures on Moravian History sponsored by the Wachovia Historical Society and Home Moravian Church.
On Sunday, March 1 at 1:30 p.m. in CE 101 our own Dr. Craig Atwood will speak on Herrnhaag, the Abandoned Moravian Settlement. Herrnhaag in western Germany (near Frankfurt) was the largest and most magnificent settlement built by the Moravians, but in 1749 the territorial ruler demanded that the residents leave his realm. Today only three of the original buildings are still standing. The Moravian Heritage tour in June will visit Herrnhaag. Come and hear about Herrnhaag, the “sifting time,” and the expulsion.
On Saturday, March 21 at 3:00 p.m. Dr. Katherine (Katie) Faull, Executive Director of the Institute for Moravian History and World Heritage at Moravian University will discuss her research on 18th Century Moravian Women Leaders: Eva Marie Spangenberg and Anna Nitschmann. Both women lived and worked in both Herrnhut and Bethlehem, PA.
Both lectures are free and open to the public. Katie will also speak in Sunday School on March 22.
Spend time with God in a meaningful and colorful way this Lenten season by joining the Women’s Fellowship Praying in Color group.
Created by Sybil MacBeth, Praying in Color is “the intersection of prayer and doodling, a visual, active, meditative, and playful way to pray.”
No artistic skill or prayer expertise required!
Led by Elizabeth Sides and Laura Watson, Praying in Color will be offered as a series with in-person sessions and materials for participants to utilize on their own.
In-person sessions:
- Feb. 12, March 5, March 26
- 11:30 am-12:30 pm, Parlor
All materials will be provided; however, if you have a favorite set of markers, colored pencils, or crayons, please bring them.
If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth or Laura.
Calvary is providing a family shelter that serves as a warm, safe space for up to 20 moms & kids each night. Invite some friends (or maybe your circle) to join you and sign up to Bring Dinner for 25.
