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!
